Former Superior Court Judges Get Hot in the _Legislature—House Passes Bill Adding Four Superior Court Judges—-Work of the Legis- lature. In the Senate Saturday there was a warm passage-at-arms between Judge Jones of Forsyth and Judge Council of Catawba ag the result ‘of a bill, favorably reported from the judiciary committee,to allow the Supreme Court reporter $400 additional for clerical assistance.Judge Jones op- posed it and said with considerable warmth that he would not cast a vote to increase a single salary until he knew.where the money is coming from to pay the big deficit that stares He wanted to take care of the insane,the blind and the deaf and dumb and to provide for a six months’school term.Until these things are looked after and we know where the money is coming from for all these other things he expected to move to table every bill asking for more money. Judge Council replied with heat that he yielded to no man in desire to eat the treastry from being rob- and for making a record for economy,but he resented the threats made by the Senator from Forsyth. “J am willing to take my share of the.responsibility,”he almost shout- ed.“We all know about the deficit and it is not necessary for the Sena- tor from Forsyth to remind us of it in every speech he makes on this floor.I am as much in favor of edu- cating the children as any gentleman here and of taking care of the_other interests of the State.The Senator may threaten as much as he pleases, and when we all go home some of us will be able to compare records for economy with the Senator from Forsyth.” With flashing eyes and hijgh-pitch- ed voice Judge Jones declared he would not take orders from the Sena- tor from Catawba or anybody.“He may rant all he pleases,”declared Judge Jones,“and attack me as much as he likes,but I shall continue to do as I please.I have no apology to make to him.His attack on me is uncalled for.”Turning to Judge Council,Judge Jones exclaimed:= shall stand here and continue to throw it in your face as long as you try to vote away the people’s money without excuse for it.wo years ago one little old clerk to one of the commit- tees filed his little red-speckled book in the Auditors office with only one entry in it,and for that he was al- lowed to draw $4 per day for the en- tire session,and at the end he was voted another dollar per day for the session.Do you stand for such a record of extravagance and injustice as that?There is no need for any committee here having a clerk.It is every bit a piece of extravagance. I represent as good a people,more of them and far more wealth than the Senator from Catawba.You can’t deter me and no Senator here can de- ter me from talking plain and telling of your errors.” Judge Council said he was making no attack on theSenatorfrom Forsyth but only on his evident desire to monopolize the right to stand before the people as the only man who is alert in watching for their rights. Other Senators made remarks and the bill went over until tomorrow.The report of this debate is gathered from “the peport itt tnd Greetsvore News.Rie were Sonint bolt House?Ynttodtceo to increase the number of Superior Court judges from 16 to 20 and the bill passed the House.The Senate passed the House bill authorizing the Governor to appoint a committee of three to confer with officials of rail- road companies and try to settle con- test over freight rate discriminations without retaliatory legislation at this session.A bill introduced in the House by Clark of Pitt prohibits the manufac- ture,sale or giying away of cigar- ettes or cigarette materials or im- portation into the State of cigarettes or cigarette materials.

A Statesville man who was clerk to a legislative committee in Ral- eigh during two sessions of the Lég- islature,tells The Landmark that the Newton News has assigned too much labor to the “laborers”employ- ed at the capitol during the sitting of the Legislature.The laborers,the Statesville man says,do no cleaning outside of the halls.The stairways and the rotunda are looked after by the regular janitor,who has extra assistance during the session of the Legislature.The average commit- tee clerk,furthermore asserts the Statesville man—who has been a clerk himself—has practically noth- ing to do and few of the committees need a clerk. The State Anti-Saloon League rec- ommends that the law limit the quan- tity of intoxicants shipped into the State to individuals “to one gallon at a time and not more than two gal- lons per week.”The allowance is liberal enough.Any gentleman who would demand more than two gal- lons a week for his own consumption would show himself to be a/|Hendersonville merchants who were MATTERS OF NEWS.hi een Aeeane bh tins charged with violation of the United|3 ; 08 an on ae :|States law which forbids the mailing|The Tennessee Legislature has éx-his allowance cut off.It is rather |of matter offering prizes in lottery,|tended an invitation to William J.surprising that the Anti-Saloon }were acquitted in a hearing before a|Bryan,Oscar Underwood and OllieLeaguepeoplemadesuchaliberalal-|United States commissioner in Ashe-|James to address the two houses in .Re |ville,on the ground that the govern-|joint session at some time in Febru- lowance.“In fact we should not have {ment failed to make out a case.ary,ho definite date being specified.been surprised if they had made the amounts quarts instead of gallons; but some of them may have had in mind the query of a former well known citizen of Statesville,who would remark on occasion,“What's a quart of liquor among one man?”|lowing:jother organizations have definitelyq1—+‘s |‘:5eeua“The State convention of the Anti-jarranged to attend the inauguration.Sending the record of his pardons |Saloon League,embracing the tem-|These figures,however,indicate onlytotheSouthCarolinaStateSenate,|Perance forces of North Carolina,as-}2 portion of the big host that is mak-jsembled in Raleigh January 29 and jing arrangements to visit the capi-Gov.Blease says: “T fear no harm from the fact that I have shown mercy to my fellow-| men,but I do expect a reward,notonlyhere,but hereafter.”He con- tinued,saying that he believes in a God but for whose help he would have never been Governor of South Carolina and that once again “I sing ‘Praise God From Whom All Bless- ings Flow.’” Blease need not lay the flattering unction to his soul that he won the governorship of South Carolina through the help of the Lord.Some- ‘times the Lord permits the wicked to flourish as the.green bay tree;in His inscrutable wisdom and for His own just purposes,He allows wrong to flourish at times,but that does not mean that He approves what is going on or is a party to it.It is pos- sible that Blease has been sent as aBortofsdSurge*upon ‘South’Caroma to punish the people for their sins.cpeceatinenassemepeenictebesese Appointments By the Governor, Gov.Craig announces the followingmilitaryappointments: On the Governor’s personal staff,with rank of colonel,Jno.P.Kerr andG.A.Thomasson,Asheville;-T.L.Craig,Gastonia;Alexander Webb,Raleigh;J.E.Erwin,Morganton;J,D.Langston,Goldsboro;Geo.Mc-Neill,Fayetteville;Dr.W.H.Cowell,Shawboro.The two last named arenavalaidesandCol.Kerr and Col.omasson are on the staff by virtueoftheofficesofprivatesecretaryandexecutivesecretary.As assistant adjutants general:York Coleman,Rutherfordton;J.L.Alexander,Asheville;Alfred Wil-liams,Raleigh;Hubert Lyerly,Hick-ory.Judge advocate general,T,L.Kirk-patrick,Charlotte;assistant judgeadvocates,General W.A.Devin,Ox-ford;L.C.Sinclair,High Point;K.M.Land,Kinston.Surgeon general and colonel,Dr,8.Westray Battle,Asheville;assist-ant surgeon general and lieutenantcolonel,Dr.Baxter R.Hunter,Char-lotte;Chief engineer,T,B.Whitted,Charlotte;chief of ordinance,Thos.R.Robertson,Raleigh.—_—_—_————After buying a lot in a local ceme-4ry,having a monument erected forhimselfandinforminghiswifethatshewouldbeawidowwithintwoweeks,Joseph S.Smith,a farmer ofthevicinityofGreenville,Ga,aged72,today committed suicide.rs,Smith attached no importance to thea@tatementofherhusband’and was.xugeeuteated when she found him dyingtheeffectsofadrug.;Ee———— made forRemedy.‘s plan,relieves .the lungs,pene the secretions,aids expectoration;and item to a healthy condition.dealers.3 seers See“Senator Simmons eS ‘introduced.an.amendment to the river and harborbill,now pending in Congress,to pro- vide $1,100,000:for work on CapeLookoutharbor.

TOF IREDELL ROAD WO Forces and the Engineering MucUndertheUsualCost.: 'Mr.Wi S.Fallis,the engineer in charge of the Iredell county road work up to a few weeks ago,has sub- mitted the following report.of work done under his supervision:To The Board of County Commission- ers,Statesville,N.C.Gentlemen:I herewith submit thefollowingreport,as ordered by yourboardatthemeetingheldonthefirst Monday in December,1912.This re-port includes the period of time .be- ginning a,esa 1,1911,and end- ing November 30,1912.it is check- ed by and balances with the treasur-er’s reports for the same period.Itshowsboththetotalexpenditureson the various roads and other expensesashereinaftershown.From the total purchase value of the equipment a periodical percent-age has been deducted for deprecia- tion,Which percentage has _been charged to the roads to which it was applicable,thus leaving the present value of the equipment as hereinaf- ter shown,Other expenditures not directly applicable to a specific piece of work or from’the nature or condi-tion of the distribution not properly chargeable to any one road,have been distributed over the mileage built. On the last day of November,1912, there were approximately 83 miles of roads built and under construction, 76 of which were practically com- plete.: Wilkesboro Road,9.2 Miles Complete. This was probably the most expen- sive road built in the county.The earth excavation on it was,in my opinion,heavier than on any other road yet surveyed.The soil was of poor quality and expensive to place. The total cost of this road was $17,- 844.93;or $1,885.32 per mile. Island Ford Road,7.6 Miles Complete. The work on this road was rather light in part.There were,however,some heavy ‘places,such as at the Watts mill bridge and elsewhere.The total cost was $10,531.66,or $1,385.74 per mile. Statesvill€,Mooresville and Davidson Read,20 Miles Complete. This road was very much like the Island Ford road in the average amount of worl,there being some places where the work was heavy. The tetal cost was $28,788.78,or $1,- 439.44 per mile. Perth Church Road,1.6,Miles Com- plete. The work on this road was light for the entire distance built.The cost was $2,310.05,or $1,443.78 per mile. Jonesville Road,7.1 Miles Complete. The work on this road was com- paratively light,or not heavier than the average road built.The cost charged to this road also includes the surfacing of about five miles of road previously graded.The total cost was $10,019.94,or $1,411.26 per mile. Enochville Road,2.5 Miles Compdete. The work on this road for the dis- tance built was very light.The cost was $1,546.72,or $618.69 per mile. Coddle Creek Road,5.7 Miles Com-| plete. The work on this road was,per- haps,the heaviest done in the south-ern part of the county.The total cost was $8,960.55,or $1,572.03 per mile. Beattie’s Ford Road,2 Miles Com- f plete.

In order to make comparison with the costs of work done by contract and that done by the eounty forces, I would call the attention of the board to the average costs of the following roads which were built by the county forces:Wilkesboro,Island Ford, Statesville,Mooresville and Davidson, Perth Church,Jonesville and Coddle Cree!rhe average cost per mile of the above named roads was $1,522.58. The average cost of the Buffalo Shoals and.Elmwood,which were built by contract,was $2,253.56,mak- ing a difference in favor of the work done.by the county forces of $730.98 per mile I will.at this point call the atten- tion of the board to the good work done by the foremen of the county forces,as a large measure of credit is due to them for the economy shown in the work done by their forces over that done by contract. I would also call the attention of the board to the low cost of the en- gineering and superintendence as compared with the usual cost of the engineering work alone on _similar jwork heretofore done elsewhere in ithe State.Investigation will show |that the engineering work alone us- of the It will bidder for ually exceeds 6 per.cent amount of total expenditures. be remembered that one |the engineering work of this county made an offer to do the work for 10 per cent of the cost of the work.I have been informed that this offer the superinten- dence of any county forces but was made on the understanding that the The records show that the engineering PITTSBURG POULTRY AND.RABBIT FENCE.; PITTSBURG RAZORBACK HOG WIRE.

T 16LANDMARK TUESDAY,.--February 4,1913. aaaa It seems to be settled that the State’s Superior Court judges will be increased by four,We hope it is for the best but the increase probably means that the idlers on the bench will idle a little more and there.will be little apparent change in the con- dition of the court dockets. The report’of Mr.W.S.Fallis,for- mer county engineer,published on the third page of The Landmark today,is worthy of attention.It gives a de- tailed account of the expenditure for road work,the average cost,etc.,,on each road and the work done.It will be noticed that the work ‘done by county forces costs much less than that done by contract and that the cost of engineering is.much under the usual estimate in such cases.The re- port is of interest to every,taxpayer, for it shows just what has been done wwith the road money expended and what the work is costing.eee The man who attempts to reform existing conditions,no matter if they are admittedly bad,has a hard time. He will be assailed and his motives impugned.That’s why conditions that everybody admits are wrong are often allowed to continue,for the av- erage man,no matter how.honest and earnest,doesn’t like to be made a target.This is preliminary to say- ing that Judge Jones of Forsyth is finding the usual hard row to hoe in his attempt to cut off useless extrav- agances in the Legislature.But Judge Jones is right and the people should get behind him.His efforts are di- rected to remedy abuses that admit- tedly exist but they have existed so long that many good and _honest people have come to believe that it is all right to let them go on.Glory to Judge Jones and more power to him. Mr.R.G.Mace,formerly editor of the Hickory Times-Mercury,has en-tered the Baptist ministry.From the newspaper office to the pulpit is a long way and few there be that find it.We do not know what steps for purification the brother who has left the print shop and entered the pulpit took,but he must have “wash is hands in snow water,”as Job sug- gested,and dipped like Naaman did. At any rate,there was some chang-ing.—Monroe Enquirer. True,generally speaking.And yet if The Landmark had to take choice it would prefer Bro.Ashcraft’s chances of a hereafter to those of some preachers it could name.Fur- thermore,Dr.Howard Banks,of the Hickory Democrat and Dr.Johnson of Charity and Children are good preachers now,as well as good news- paper men.although they have to preach without license—are block- aders,8 to speak.However,we agree with Editor Ashcraft that.the average newspaper man would have to change considerably to be “fitten” for the pulpit. A band of Confederate veterans will march in the inaugural parade in Washington,°-clad in Confederate uni- form and bearing such arms as they bore in the war between the States. The bitterness growing out of that conflict has practically been eliminat- ed.Twenty-five years ago.such aooWiktagestionmontanesreierdcokerh of indignation all over the North and Grand Army camps:would have de- nounced it without stint.For years a favorite Republican campaign cry in the North was that the election of a Democratic President would put the Confederates in charge of the govern- ment;and if an armed band of Con- federate veterans had offered to march in the parade at the first Cleveland inauguration,for instance, the fanatics and demagogues in the North would have affirmed that the prediction was being verified. The clash between Judges Jones and Council in the State Senate Sat- urday brought a statement from Sen- ator Evans of Bladen in which he de- clared that the deficit in the State treasury is exaggerated.He says $200,000 is due from the State prison; that the deficit in the treasury is an aecumulation of four years and that the State’s assets—its railroad hold- ings—would pay every cent of the State debt.Doubtless true,but the fact remains thatthe State has been running behind for four years until the amount is about $800,000 and un- less a way is found to increase the income or decrease the expenditure we will be accumulating debt all the while and by and by it will be suf- ‘ficient to wipe out all the State’s holdings.The income should be made _sufficient for the State’s needs—the. actual needs—and then the State should live within the income.So The Supreme Court reassembleddayforthespringterm.About60applicantsforlawlicensehaveap- peared for the semi-annual examina- ta F Clb NWBr iG wei!Vor;Bate ot BY; Gen.Sickles is in no danger.No“was ever built for a man who lost apr itech he has influential friends who will probably save him.But if the above means that “a man who lost a’leg at Gettysburg”should not go to jail, no matter what he does,then it’s a case of sentiment running over common sense.If Sickles had been a private,unknown and without influ- ence,he’would have been in jail long ago,notwithstanding the leg lost at Gettysburg.All of which means that jails are built for some folks who lost legs at Gettysburg,but not for others. ‘STATE NEWS. Mr.Robt.W.Sherrill,aged 47, died last week at his home in Catawba county.Wife and six.children sur- vive. Six citizens of Wilmington,accus- ed of organizing a fish dealers’trust, were acquitted of the charge in New Hanover Superior Court.

Mullins McDowell,the 11-year-old Raleigh boy who shot and killed Lind- sey Smith,a colored youth,last week, and four other boys who are accesso- ries,have been admitted to bail in the sum of $200 each.The boys,who are a part of a gang of young toughs that have made life a burden in some sections of Raleigh,were sit- ting by the roadside when the negro drove by.Without any provocation they fired on him and the shot of the McDowell boy,who had a.22-rifle, was effective. The Citizen says a meeting in Cen- tral Methodist church,Asheville,Sun- day night,closed a campaign of two weeks in the interest of foreign mis- sions,which has been conducted by Dr.H.K.Boyer,the missionary sec- retary of the Western North Carolina Conference.During the past two weeks meetings have been held in 15 cities of this State and the sum of $15,000 has been raised among the Methodists of the Conference for the support of foreign -missions,This is $5,000 more than.was expected, the campaign having been launched for the purpose of securing $10,000 for this cause. The grand jury of New Hanover Superior Court,which had been in session for two weeks and had made a searching investigation into a num- ber of matters,made a report Satur- tions at the jail,the county home and the convict camp.Judge Carter called the county commissioners into court and they promised to remedy matters at once.The convicts at the chain gang camp complained that they had found a de rat amongtheirfoodanditwasadmittedthat a rat was found in/a pot of meat ononeoccasion, out that boiled dinners were cookedinpotsusedalternatelyforboiling clothes.

Senator Ward introduced a joint resolution for the committees on cor- poration commission to inquire into and report as to the advisability of repealing the first proviso to section 1107 of The Revisal,so as to leave the long and short haul clause iron- clad and make the State law con- form to the memorial to Congress re¢ently”adépted by the Legislature for repeal of the first and ‘second provisos of the Inter-State Commerce Commission.

Among the bills introduced was one to enforce compensation for injured workmen and their dependents and to enforce the law against hazing in colleges. The Senate bill to increase the bor- rowing power of building and loan associations from 25 to 50 per cent. of assets was reported favorably in the House by the committee on cor- porations,with the amendment that the increase be from 25 to 30 per cent,instead of 50 per cent.The bill was made special order for Thursday.

Consul Patterson in accounting to the State Department for the govern- ment money which passed throughhishands,failed to distinguish be- tween the mint and the international value of the rupee.In consequence, the termination of his consular:ser- vice found him $20,000 in debt to the United States,according to the books of the State Department.He paid the money out of his own pocket. General Patterson aied a short time after his recall from India.His widow eame to Washington determined to secure the payment of the sum for which her husband’s estate in Tennes-see had been sold.For more than two years she has been indefatigable in her visits to Congressmen and Senators,appealing to them to see that the money was paid back to her by Congress.Believing that General Patterson’s shortage in accounts was due to bad judgment rather than te dishonesty,Congressman Austin in- itroduced a bill to have the govern- ment bear this shortage and to pay back to Mrs.Patterson $20,000.3 The committee on claims,of which }Congressman Pou of the fourth dis-|trict of North Carolina is chairman, uskedthe~Secretary of ‘the’Treasury to make an investigation of the ac- counts of General Patterson te de- termine if Mrs.Patterson’s claims |were well founded.The Secretary was \satisfied andthe report he made to i the committee satisfied the commit- tee. ||The Senate Friday defeated every jattempt to amend the Works single |six-year presidential term resolution. |As the measure emerged from Fri- iday’s fight it provided for one Seaver”Gives”SutacataryaudValedistoryinOne.— Sun,Jan.30.

The morning train from Taylors- ville experienced a rather serious wreck yesterday at a point a few hun- dred yards north of Loray,.but for- tunately no one was hurt.!The train is a mixed passenger and freight fromTaylorsvilletoStatesvilleandfour heavily loaded box cars were derail- ed and partly demolished.The pas- senger ‘and mail and baggage cars, which were at the rear of the train, did not leave the rails and the occu- vee were not even badly jolted.The ocomotive and two freight cars also remained on the track,breaking loosefromthecarswhichwerewrecked. »Conductor Rowlandtransferredsevenoreight of his pas- sengers to the locomotive and came on to Statesville in time to make con- nection with No.11 from the east. A passenger coach was then coupled to the locomotive and taken back to ~the scene of the wreck after the other passengers,-mail,etc.The morning train from Charlotte was turned backtoCharlotte,leaying Statesville about 50 minutes behind schedule time,and the train to Taylorsville was annulled. .But for the fact that the train was slowing for Loray when the.accident occurred the results would likely have | been very serious.As it was the dam- age was unusual for such slow speed, the derailed.cars being thrown zig- wag across the track and two of them almost completely demolished.Two were loaded with lumber and two with tan bark and their contents with the wrecked cars made a rather bad spectacle.The wreck was undoubted- ly caused by either a crushed wheel or a rocking car.When stacked very high in a car the car frequently rocks off the rails.A wheel of one of the cars was found broken half in two. Engineer Patton says that when he ———~——~felt his envine suddenty”jerked back "and then leap forward,he felt sure that the train had pulled apart and gazing backward he was shocked to see the front of a box car going into the air.The locomotive was stopped promptly and within a minute after the crash all the train crew and most of the passengers were out on the pene making investigation.The ray school stands just a few hun- dred feet from where the wreck oc- curred and hearing the crash many of the children did not wait for permis- sion or take time to go to doors,butsimplyjumpedoutthewindowstoseewhathadhappened.News that a wreck had occurred soon spread over the little village of Loray and theresidentsturnedoutpromptlytoren- der aid if it should be needed.When it was found that no one was hurt some went back to their daily duties while others stayed by for the diver- sion made possible by the wreck. Several squads of section hands went to work on the wreckage as soon as they could get there and dur- ing the afternoon a derrick reached the scene.The track was cleared about midnight. Nine cars of freight train No.66 were derailed late Wednesday after- noon just east of Catawba station and blocked traffic on the Western.road for several hours.No one was hurt. - »The principal damage was to thetrack.

Cashier Roberts,of Collector Brown’s office,.reports revenue col- lections for last month as follows: Regular lists $320.59,corporation list $399.65,cigars $30.96,tobacco $463,- 423.28,special tax $20.09,a grand total of $464,194.57. While this is a fine monthly rec- ord,it is by no means the largest amount collected in a single month, though it is abeve the average.The most interesting feature about the report is the fact that no collections were made on spirits,which is about the second or third time such condi- tion has existed.In additjon to the N.Glen Williams liquo ich is now in the hands of the government, it is understood that there are still 500 to 600 gallons of booze stored in the district,not yet tax paid,which means that collections on spirits will again figure in some future report of the revenue office.

The Raleigh News and Observer opposes a State board of pardons on the ground that “we are getting too many.boards and commissions and de- partments of government;”that “in- stead of dividing responsibility in government it should be centered,” and continues: One reason that the pardoning re- sponsibility has grown so heavily up- on Governors is that too many of them act in pardon matters as if the Governor was an appellate court, tHLANDMARK]azette-News is not amoeratictetagainst‘aft.appointments,but “been engaged in squandering public time and money in a palpable and con- fessed office grab.In the ordinary course such offices as have ‘become vacant should be filled by this admin- istration and the President was en- tirely justified in his surprise at the tactics of the victorious opposition.” It may be remarked also that the par- ty of Lincoln has been spending time and money in trying to force into the public service,after they had been voted out,on the eve of a Democrat- ic administration,an unusual number of officeholders;led in the attempt by the President of the United States, who in this matter has shown a parti- san zeal not only unbecoming but which is foreign to his ‘professions, In view of the fact thatthe Republi can party had been.almost.unani- mously voted out of power,it would have been within the proprieties and the canons’of good taste for the President after the election,to have made no appointments at all ex- cept those considered absolutely nec- essary for the conduct of the public business.Instead of pursuing that course,he has not only made all the appointments in sight but has gone out of the way to hunt up some and has shown a partisan zeal and eager- ness in the matter entirely unbecom- ing.Moreover,viewed from the com- mon partisan standpoint,the Demo- The Asheville G = above the Supreme Court,and vir-|rats are but following ‘the example tually bound to review all the cases which they are asked to take up,and this takes their time.If Governors of the Republicans.Mr.Cleveland made few appointments after the would refuse to permit the executive|election of a Republican President to office ;to.be made an appellate court).yeceed him,but all or nearly all oftheywouldthenhavetopassonly upon such applications ror pardon as should properly come before them, the few he made were held up by a Republican Senate.We recall dis- and soon criminals and their attor-|tinctly that he appointed a Federal neys would find out that the Governor|judge in this State to fill a vacancy is an executive and not a judicial of- ficer,and that the only hope for exec-utive clemency would be in some af- ter-discovered evidence or in some ex- traordinary condition that warranted, executive clemency. That’s the idea;and if we could only get Governors to quit acting as an appellate court the necessity for a board of pardons would largely dis- appear.We don’t know when this appeliate court business first began but The Landmark’s attention was first called to it during Gov.Aycock’s term.He took the position that he should review the cases after they had been passed on-by-all-the courts,and decide what should be done,Govern- ors since then,and probably Govern- ors prior to that time,have followed this course.The Landmark has al- ways believed this was wrong;that a Governor had no bustness acting as an appellate court,and it is glad to have its views sustained by the News and Observer.If that paper can find some means to stop the Chief Execu- tive acting as an appellate court we'll rego the board of pardons. The Landmark has no fancy for in-| easing the number of boards and | commissions,but it seemed to be a} condition and not a theory that con-| fronted us;and to relieve.the Govern- or of a burden ana more especially| with the hope that pardons | would be granted,it has had an idea} that a board of three to five men,not | exceeding five,meeting once in three| months afd passing on all applica- tions,could more nearly reach the merits of the case than any one man, no matter who he is.The board should be carefully selected;compos- ed of men not easily moved by ap- peals to sentiment nor in any way/ affected by politics..Such a board, we believe,could better handle the applications “for pardon,“but if “the Governor will cease to act as a court of review to pass on the work already done by the courts,there may be no necessity for the board of pardons. rewer The other day a negro preacher was holding forth on the streets of Char- lotte and here is what he said,ac- cording to the Observer: “Charlotte and this*world are like that great ship,the Titanic,in sever- al respects.No one thought that ship could sink,but it did.And I tell you that Charlotte is going to hit something like -that ship did. When it does,something’s going to happen.I have read in the papers about ‘Watch Charlotte Grow.’The most growing that I notice sometimes is in wickedness. “Yes,Charlotte tanic—.” But the preacher was talking too plain and just then a policeman stop: ped him.They don’t want to be told of their sins in Charlotte.If the preacher had said Charlotte was a e great and good city they would prob- ably have let him talk on. is like the Ti- We once heard that Tom Pence was slated for that private secretary’s job.We hope nothing unpleasant has hap-pened to-Tom.—Greensboro News.

THE SHOE MACHINERY CASE. United States.Supreme Court Holds MORE OF THE ALLEN ROMANCE.re Waa Bese teehee:;¢_GirAllenReciserhore *ews,Hethn A corn shucking kiss was the begin- ning of a series of events in Carrollcounty,Virginia,which came to a cli- max in the shooting up of the Hills-ville court on March 14,last,accord-ing to Miss Nellie Wissler,&typicalmountaingirlwhohasgonefromherhomejustacrosstheNorthCarolina line to Richmond,Va.,to make an appeal to Governor Mann to stay the sentence of death upon Claude Allen,whom she was to marry.The story told by this mountain girl has beentoldinpartbutinthemainher‘storywillneverbewritten.It is the story of a little mountain girl in love with amanwhostandsintheshadowof death;for a setting it has a wild andruggedcountryandforitscharacter a primitive people.Throughout the little romance is tinted with the red of a tragedy that in the main is an old tale,and hinges for its.fatefulclimaxuponthestrokeofapenin the hands of Virginia’s Governor. In a news account announcing the arrival of Miss Wissler,in Richmond, for the purpose of appealing to Gov- ernor Mann in Allen’s behalf,the Richmond Times-Dispatch relates as an interview from the girl one:hith- erto untold chapter of the incidents which led up to the court house shoot- ing.Miss Wissler,says the Times- Dispatch,thought everybody knew the story long ago and was surpris-ed when she was told that the pa- pers had not printed it.The story as related by the girl is:About three weeks before the court house tragedy the Carroll county neighborhood gathered at a corn- shucking,which attracted all the young people of the countryside.

Washington Dispatch,3rd. For the first-time in its history the Stipreme Court of the United States today held in effect in the “shoe ma- chinery trust”case that the Sherman anti-trust law does not forbid the mere combining of non-competitors in an industry.Solicitor General Bul- litt,for the government,had con- tended that if the combination brought into one hand an “undue pro- portion”of the trade it was forbid- den by the anti-trust law. “The disintegration aimed at by the statute does not extend to reduc-, ing all manufacture to isolated units of the lowest degree,”said Justice Holmes itt announcing the unanimous decision of the court that the organiz- ation of the United Shoe Machinery Company by the heads of several non- competing groups of shoe manufac- turers had not been a violation of the law. The Justice said it is as lawful for one corporation to “make every part”of a steam engine and to put the machine together as it would be| for one to make the boilers and anoth- er to make the wheels. In explanation of this concise statement of law the Justice referred to the court’s recent Minnesota cream- ery decision and the older Swift & Co.decision in which it was.held that“an “intent”is necessary as an element of attempting to monopolize. The bringing of non-competing branches of a trade into juxtaposition alone by means of a corporation,he said in substance,did not furnish suf-ficient “intent”to raise the conduct to the dignity of an attempt “t6 monopolize. Despite today’s decision,officials of the Department of Justice declared the shoe machinery company would be prosecuted for alleged criminal violation of the Sherman law under the one remaining count of the in- dictments returned against the com- pany,the validity of which was sus- tained by the lower court.That count which was not before the Supreme Court charged in effect that the com- pany was monopolizing the industry by combination,by taking the various shoe machines together,by destruc- tion of competition and by acquisi- tion of competitors’business.Officials vigorously maintained that the deci- sion did not affect the government’s case on this count. The strongest feature of the gov- ernment’s effort to show an unlawful combination in restraint of trade,said Solicitor General Bullitt,was the “ty- ing”clause of the agreements by which it is alleged the company sought to compel shoe manufactur- ers to buy machines from it and noneother.: That question,he declared,was not considered by the court because the lower court”had~interpreted the in- dictments as referring ‘to the organiz- ation of the company. “Incidentally the court has sus- tained the government in a very im- portant general contention,which isthatthecriminalappealsact,by virtue of which this indictment was not been repealed,as counsel for the| shoe machinery company argued that| it was,by the judicial code which went into effect January 1,1912.”——— W.3.Skelton,a merchant at Stanley,Ind.,says he would not take $100.00 for the reliefasingleboxofFoleyKidneyPillagavehim. “Tl had a severe attack of kidriey trouble withsharppainsthroughmybackandcouldhardly | this annoyance.For saleDrugCo.: straighten up.A single box of Foley KidneyPillsentirelyrelievedme.’Statesville Drug Co. presented for their determination,has |creator for such women.

I notice that the recommendation by the Anti-Saloon League that the amount of spirits to be shipped into the State to any one person be limit- ed to one gallon at a time and not more than two gallons to the same person the same week.The editor of The Landmark thinks the allowance gentleman whe would demand more than two gallons in one week for his own consumption would show himself to be a hog and*should have his allowance cut off. {-believe in all the.Anti-Saloon| League has done in the way of prohi-| bition and would just here offer a suggestion to our members in the General Assembly to use their best efforts to have a search and seizure law passed for Iredell county,making|f law for any one to| t a violation of have more than one gallon in his pos- és8sion,and that any one found with|more than.one,gallon.in his.posses:| ion should be prima facia evidence of his intent to violate the law;that} the said one gallon should be in a jug:that any one found with as much as one gallon on his premises the same being in-quart,pint or half-pint4bottlesshouldbeguiltyofviolation| \f the law and subject to a fine of not} more than $50 and not less than $25|for the first offence,and not less than| $50 for thé second offence;that any one found drunk off his or her premi-| ses should be guilty of a misdemeanor| and subject to a like penalty.j My reasons for restricting the one gallon to a-jug is because it is.so easy for any one to carry around in hig poucke.s the pits 6r“hvit pints and slip it into the pocket of anyene he knows to be of the like faith,re- ceiving the money in like manner.Then make a case against him for re- tailing if you can. You may see it pass and have the| party put under oath who receives | the package in regard to the pur- chase,but get him to tell you the truth.No,verily.c.V.VOILS.

The feeling.expressed here by not few is that it is impossible for any with 2 genuine-representation in the county government or elsewhere;that in ap propriations for improvements of va rious kinds,notably for road build jing and the like,nothing can be cured.except after a tong protracted struggle and fight.These people |believe that the best solution of the trouble and the easiest way out is the formation of a new county and the institution of a center less remote | from the section concerned than is Charlotte.

Finely bred,splendidly trained and| keen-nosed fox hounds are going to have a section all their own in the Wilson inaugural parade. Dr.Lester Jones of Culpeper,Va., is gathering together the finest pack | of fox hounds in the world and will place them ahead of the mounted| band which will escort the hunt club| riders in the civic section of the par- ade.This unique feature of an in- augural parade is receiving no end| of attention in the State of Virginia. Dr.Jones\ha’s informed the inaugural| committee that the fox hounds he will | select will be of such fine training} that they will “stay put”and will not “break and scatter”all over the line| of march.A competent master of hounds will be the grand marshal of the canine army,sctitseasensinpentiminn Bud Wooten Lost His Team and $90.

A writer in the Atlanta Journal has the following about the recent Statesville poultry show and farming conditions in this section,He says: The past week,at Statesville,N. .,was conducted one of the vest poultry’shows cooped this season 1 a town of anything like this size of less than eight thousand people,and strange to say that the door receipts amounted to as much in dollars and cents ag the recent big show held jn Atlanta,where five times as many birds were cooped.There is possibly a reason for this and it is becuuse this is a great poultry growing sec- tion and the farmers as well as city people are interested in this line of work,as ‘it.is one of their staple sources of income.This is one sec- tion where eggs are shipped in car- load lots,It is nothing unusual to see great two-horse dray lots of eggs in eases being hauled through the streets to the cars to be loaded,and these eggs in return bring in an im- mense amount of Eastern money to the farmers,merchants,etc.It keeps in.circulation a constant flow of money that in return is exchanged with the merchants for their goods, and the people in this section are not dependent on a one-crep system to keep money in circulation.Everybody and every merchant seem to be pro- gressive and have money and the town in every respect shows prosper- ity,not only this town but all of the other towns in the surrounding terri- tory.I have not seen anywhere this season in the many sections I have visited such prosperity and the peo- ple feeling as good as they were in this section. At least one-third of the farms are planted in small grain and fully three-fourths of the balance of the land is already prepared now for the cotton and corn crop.While cotton is one of the staple crops of this sec- tion,by the farmers diversifying their crops and planting grain,corn and then cotton,their land is only plant- ed in cotton every third year.The result is they make an immense yield of all three of these crops,and the The dairy industry is also.largely in- |dulged in around Charlotte and all up through this section,and there are many silos and dairy barns be- tween Charlotte and Statesville.}With |diversified crops and other industries lhesides cotton to bring a revenue any“section--cannot‘help but be pros- |}perous. |There were near 1,000 fowls on ex- |hibition at this show.They were Leooped ina vacant store in the center lof the town in neat,clean coops.It lwould be a hard matter to find a |healthier and a cleaner lot of fowls lin any section,exhibited in the best lof condition,and in quality this |show would rank with many of the llarger shows that have been conduct- led this season in any section.Unusu- lally good and unusually large were |the exhibits in White Orpingtons; |White Plymouth Rocks,White Wy andottes,White Leghorns and Barred |Plymouth Rock classes.TheIslandReds,Buff Plymouth Rocks, |Buff and Black Orpingtons,Silver |Wyandottes,White and Dark Cornish iIndian Games also made splendid showings.An unusual lot of Silv -.|Wyandottes and White Indian Games Leould be seen at this show,and 1 of them with plenty size and lin fine condition,something not oft ithe case in a medium size show good representation of nearly all «ithe leading varieties were on ex! tion and it was surprising to see | Imuch interest.every breeder awa }taking in this show.A large numb« fof the birds were local exhibits,a |great many of them from the imm« ldiate territory,and the breeder ithemselves_were in-attendance with | ltheir birds,were there ready to do |business and many good sales were |made.

Find Way to Preserve Roads.” Charlotte Chronicle. Several years ago there was con- siderable agitation in the State for a law requiring all wagons to have |broad tires,and fixing a tax upon |those with narrow tires.This agita ition has been resumed recently, |this being due to the realization not jonly by good roads experts but by ithe people generally that as great aproblemasthebuildingofgoodhigh ways is the problem of their preserva- tion.Modern transportation neces- sities have required better and better roads and the increasing cost of la jbor and material has also tended to increase the costiof building high- ways.The demand for better high- ways and the greater cost of any servation all the more important.The Statesville Landmark franklydeclaresthat“the most important andseriousprobleminIredellcountyto- day is the preservation of our roads.”The Landmark’s assertion will be readily understood when it is remem-bered_that—Iredellcounty is ~nowspending$400,000 for the construc-tion of roads.The Landmark is op-‘posed to the building of roads aheadof-provision for their upkeep and itspositionislogical.

Mr.Justice openly charged Mr. Bowie with inducing or seducing the two members to decamp for the pur- pose of preventing a hearing of a serious bill before a dignified legisla- tive committee.While not admitting the soft impeachment,Mr.Bowie de-clared that he had a “constitutionalrighttowhispertoacolleagueorto colleagues.” After the meeting had to adjournbythebreakingofaquorumamem-ber reported that Representative Deaver,Republican from Transylvan- ia,to whom Mr.Bowie had been whispering during the reading of the bill,made no.secret of saying that Mr.Bowie had tried to get him to leave but he did not believe in that way of doing things and refused.It is intimated,howevér,that he suc-ceeded in getting the necessary two to leave in order to break a quorum, without taking this peculiar burden on himself. Made Public Offer of Marriage to Woman Suffrage Speaker. Six hundred persons,most of whom were suffragists who were listening to an address by Dr.Anna Howard Shaw,president of the National Suf- frage Association,in Danielson, Conn.,were thrown into confusion when John Frisbie,a wealthy farm- er of Mechanicsville,interrupted the speaker and proposed marriage to her. “Just a minute,Miss Shaw,”shout- ed Frisbie.“I have been a widower for 18 years.Will you marry me andmakemehappy?I have plenty for us both.” For several minutes Doctor Shaw stood speechless.Then she cried out dramatically: “T don’t-want a wedding ring;all I want is the vote.” “I hope you never get the vote if that’s the way you feel about it,” was Frisbie’s parting shot as he left the hall.; Evidently Farmer Frisbie thought Jr.Shay was speaking for a man and he proposed to save her further effort by supplying the need.But he had his nerve with him.

Average Value of Farm Lands and Holdings,the Increase,Etc. i .Greensboro News. |The final and complete returns from 'the census bureau in Washington for lagriculture in North Carolina have |been published and the figures show a gratifying increase in all phases of agricultural wealth.In addition to a |general discussion for the State as a whole,détailed and separate treat- |ment is given to each county. |Of the entire land area of North Carolina more than seven-tenths is shown to be in farms.The per cent- age varies in the different counties, but the general proportion is from 80},to 90 per cent.,that being the amount| of land in farms in 30 counties well| |distributed over the State.| For the State as a whole theav-|lerage value of farm land per acre is ($15.29.In a‘large majority of the leounties (74)the average value is ifrom $10 to $25.Seventeen counties [show ah average of less than $10 |per acre.These”are rocated in three| distinct groups—one of ‘seven coun- ties in the central part of the State, |one of five in the extreme southwest-jern part.and one.of,five,inthe south}eastern part.The avétage value ‘ex-||ceeds 3o5 in only seven counties in | each of which it falls between $25| and $50.Of these,rour are located in the rolling coastal plain of the State and three in the piedmont pla- |teau on the southern boundary. Between 1900 and 1910 there was||an increase of,29,088,or 12 per cent.,| |in the number of farms in North Car- jolina,as compared with an increase| jof 16 per cent.in the population andjof5percent.in the acreage of im-|proved land in farms.During the de- |cade the total farm acreage decreas-| jed by 1 per cent.On account of the}|increase in the number of farms and| lof the decrease in farm acreage,the | javerage size of farms,which was 101| acres in 1900,had decreased to 88| acres in 1910.North Carolina agri-| culture,therefore,shows the same| tendencies as that or Virginia and other Southern States. The total value of farm property, which includes that of land,buildings, implements and machinery and live stock,is $537,716,000,indicating an increase of 130 per cent.since 1900. Land alone increased in value 141 per cent.as compared with an increase| of 115 per cent,in the value of build- ings,of 108 per cent.in that of live stock and 108 per cent.in that of im- plements and machinery.| The average value of a farm,in-| cluding its equipment,is $2,119 at} the present time,as compared with| $1,041 in 1900,or an increase of 104| per cent.during the decade.During| the ten years 1900-1910 the average|value of land per acre increased by| $9.05,or considerably more than | doubled.In 1910 the total number of farms|owned wholly or in part was 145,320,| Of this number 117,028 were free from mortgage,26,642 were mortgag- ed and for 1,650 no report relative to mortgage indebtedness was obtained | by the census bureau.The number of mortgaged farms constituted 18 per cent.of the total number of owned! farms.This percentage is much high-|er than in 1890 and somewhat higher| than in 1900.From 1890 to 1910)the absolute increase in the number| jof mortgaged farms was greater than| |that in the number free ofmortgage.| |The average debt of mortgaged |farms,however,decreased in the 20)|years from $722 to $517,or 28 perjeent.The average value of such |farms Press from $1,584 to $2,- |231,or per cent.Thus the owner’s jequity rose from $862 in 1890 to $1,714 in 1910,or by 98 per cent.As ja result of the greater relative in-.|crease in the total farm value than }in the total farm debt,the mortgage indebtedness of North Carolina farm- ers,which was 45 per cent.of the value of the mortgaged farms in 1890, had changed to 23 per cent.of thisvaluein1910.cocsmsenisantnengennennnenenensinnenen At the annual meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the North Car- olina Agricultural Society in Ral- eigh this week it was decided.to is- sue bonds of the society,not to ex-| ceed $50,000,for additional buildings| t|}}| at the State Fair grounds and to re-|Paruitee ox Winiiesestirethg,,Present outstanding,handed it BERLE EO Bmp,ETNdeleuf92z.0007"eiieenee |)COMBS..._|SILVERWaRg,-_PURSES,CLOCKS.-FLOWE !

To Let Contracts For Upkeep of the Roads.

'n fact one man,Mr.Chas.Hines of Troutman,has already signed a con- tract for the first eight miles of the Mooresville-Charlotte road leadingoutfromStatesville.The dragging of the roads can best be done when they are wet—a time wher the farm- er has least use for his teams.The commissioner»took a trip over the Chipley Fgrd and Wilkesboro roads last week to determine which ross rather strong contest betwee persons interested in each.As a result of thetriptheboarddecidedtobuildthe Wilkesboro road to the county.line and to also do some work:on theChipleyFordroad,the terminus of the work to be decided later.

Smith of.Virginia.._During the-first Cleveland administration,it will be recalled,Mr.Stevenson,who after- ward became Vice President,was First Assistant Postmaster Gefferal, One day a sprightly old gentleman walked into Mr.Stevenson's office and introduced himself.“My name is Smith,”said the caller.“I am from Virginia.I was once Governor of Virginia and they sometimes call me ‘Extra Billy’Smith.I am re- turning from a visit to Stamford, Conn.,where I was in school 60 years ago,”continued the visitor,“and I give yoy my word as a Virginia gen- tleman that the most remarkable changes have taken place there since I_last saw.the place 60 years ago.”|" Mr.Stevenson recognized humor when he saw it and he was natural- ly amused at Gov.Smith’s astonish- ment at such remarkable changes in a place in 60 years.Mr.Barber’s surprise at the changes in Moores- ville in 38 years is somewhat in line; and it is an interestng part of the story that Mr.Barber has lived so near Mooresville—Mt.Ulla is only a few miles away—and hadn’t visited the place in all these years.

Raleigh News and Observer. After considerable discussion’theHousecommitteéonpublicservicecorporationsvotedtoreportunfavor- ably Representative Clark’s bill topreventpublicofficialsfromacvepting passes from quasi-public service cor- porations.Mr.Clark gave notice ofaminorityreport.It developed dur-ing the hearing that more than onememberofthecommitteenow’haverailroadpasses,these including Rep- resentatives Bolick and Coffield,whoarerailroademployesandreceivean-nual passes as part of their compen-sation;Representative Phillips,whosaidhewasanattorney“for theSouthernrailway,and used his’passincomingtotheGeneralAssembly, and Chairman Devin,who said hisfirmrepresentedtheSeaboardAirLinerailroadinGranvillecounty.Mr. Devin said,however,that he heverusesapasswhiletheGeneralAssém- bly is in session.The committee was considering the substitute bill framed by a sub-com- mittee consisting of Messrs.Justice, Bolick and Devin,which provided thatthe“‘no-pass”provision should not ap-ly to those employed in the operat-ing department of railroads for a pe- riod.of five -years.-But-the-commit- tee seemed of the opinion that if the people of a county,who knew their citizens best,knowingly chose a rail- road lawyer to represent them in the General Assembly,that body should be satisfied with the people’s selec- tion,and that it would not change a man’s sentiments towards the rail- roads for the Legislature to force himtogiveuphispasstemporarily.Rep- resentative White said he believed the principal wrong that a man should receive pay from the State as a mem- ber of the Legislature and compensa- tion fromthe faitroads,in the form of a pass,at the same time.Though the bill was’reported unfavorably, there is some promise of a “hereaf- ter”to the matter. The Politicians Have Quit Speculating About Wilson. lotte Observer,ritten From Washington. “Old Blue Stocking,”as they are calling Mr.Wilson here,remains as much of a puzzle as ever.The poli- ticians have quit speculating as to what he will,or will not do,and no-body seems to care to make a pre- diction.The impression seems to be that he is going to do pretty much as he pleases and that is all there is to it.There is an undercurrent of belief that Mr.Wilson will have his proposed cabinet in shape for public announcement on George Washing- ton’s birthday.At any rate,it isconfidentlyexpectedseveraldaysin advance of the inauguration.|Some- body in Washington has had informa- tion upon which to base this sort of talk.It may have been a case of “Hob- son’s Choice,”but the Democratic Congressmen say they let the matteroftheTaftpostofficecivilservicerul- ing go over for Mr.Wilson to settleinhisownway.They make bold tosay,though,that if President Wilsonshowsadispositiontotaketoorankaholdoncivilserviceprotection,then they will find some way to get the Democrats in.The impression 1s thatbecauseMr.Wilson is imbued with the New.England brand of civil serv-ice reform,he will be likely to proveadisappointmenttothespoilsmen, and this guess is about right.It isgoingtobethefirstofhistroublesto bob up.‘The Democrats in Congress want to keep a well-stocked pie coun-ter and it is their intention to un- cover every possible job.

The Greensboro News controverts the position of Charity and Children and The Landmark on the proposed Western Training School For Teach- ‘ers..The News insists that the school is needed;that the University and the| A.and M.College are not in the busi- ness of furnishing teachers,and con- tinues: A fourth of the teacher supply must be renewed annually and the fourtrainingschoolswhosenamesareso often arrayed as showing how lavishNorthCarolinahasalreadybeenin this respect now turn:out,all told, fewer than 200 graduates a year.If the private and denominational schools supplied enough __train- ed teachers,or if the pay were suf- ficient to attract them from other States,it would be a «ffferent matter. It is made the State’s duty to see to itthat.there are school houses andmoneytopaytheteachers.There are not enough properly equipped teach- ers.Whose duty is it to see to it that they are provided? The Landmark’s mention of the A. and M.College was simply to include the list of the State’s educational in- stitutions.Of course this paper knows the A.and M.does not train school teachers.But the University should turn out some teachers.For years the managers of that institution have insisted that it is the head of the State’s public school system.If that is true the University should furnish a good part of the teaching force. But The Landmark’s opposition to another school is based in the main on objection to multiplying State schools.If the present institutions can’t turn out enough teachers it may mean they are not making good.If they are doing their best and can’t meet the demand,increase their ca- pacity.That will be better and cost Jess than to start a new school.In North Carolina the shortage in equip- ped teachers is due to poor pay.Pay the teachers more money and enough will be found,whether or not more training schools are provided. ROAD UPKEEP—BROAD TIRES. The Landmark believes the county commissioners are proceeding on the right idea in letting contracts for the upkeep of the roads in sections. That seems to be the best and most practicable plan that can be followed and the right sort of contract with the right man will bring good re- sults at’reasonable cost.In this *connection another word about the wide-tire.A number of citizens have spoken favorably of wide-tire legisla- tion.A citizen of Bethany says not- withstanding all the money spent on the Turnersburg road it is cut to pieces by the heavily-loaded narrow- tire wagons which constantly pass over it.The wide tires are a neces- sity in preserving the roads.-In this behalf Mr.J.)P.Mills of Mooresville is securing signers to the following petition: To the members of the House ofRepresentativesandSenatorfrom Iredell county:.We,the undersign-ed citizens,do most respectfully pe-tition you to have an act passed by‘this session of the General Assembly authorizing the county commissionerstopasssuchrulesandregulationsas they may deem.wise and sufficient looking to the universal use.of broad- tire wagons in Iredell county,to put the said rules and regulations into"Sffect,gt anytime when,to.them,itseemsbestforthepurposeofkeepinginrepairtheroadsofsaidcounty. That is liberal enough.The entire Matterisleft to thediscretion of the.commissioners and-it is reasonable to ofhis will teaves suppose they will impose no unreason- able restrictions on the people.If anything is to be done at this ses- sion of the Assembly action must be prompt.The Landmark will furnish copies of this petition to anybody who wishes to sign it or circulate it,or to anybody who will hold it for signers at any public place in the county.

"|Manufacturers’Regord. The ting of the new Grand Cén-tral terminal in New York city was the dedication to public use of the largest railroad passenger terminal in the world.The impressive magni- tude of it may be readily comprehend- ed by comparison of figures takenfromthe‘Scientific American con-cerning large railroad (stations.It contains 46 tracks,with a totallengthofverynearly32miles,and 80 platforms.The great Pennsyl- vania terminal in the same city has21tracks,with a total length of 16 miles and 11 platforms.The newGrandCentralcoversinitsentirety70acresofgroundandthePennsyl-vania 28 acres,but in the case of the former there is under construction and proposed an extensive group of buildings,including a couple of great hotels,an extra railroad office build-ing,an auditorium building,styledGrandCentralPalace;an express building,the postoffice and a Young men’s Christian Association‘build- ing,besides other structures,the character of some of which is yet to be determined.This vast new depot takes the place of the old Grand Central station on 42d street,and,like it,will be for the use of the New York Central lines north and west and the rail- roads between New York and Bos-ton.Construction upon it began 10 years ago and,according to the New York Times,the entire terminalgroupofbuildingswillnotbefinish- ed for some years to come.A re- markable fact concerning the erectionofthemainstation,which has justbeenopened,is that the work upon it did not interrupt traffic at all, every provision being made by the contractors and the railroad men tohandletheregularbusinessoftheva- rious lines.To accomplish this it was necessary to spénd nearly $2,- 000,000 for temporary buildings,such as train sheds,walks,trestles,etc., all of which were of no further use when the terminal was completed.

For four years he made the trip. Then he went West in search of a for- tune.Two weeks ago,after an ab- of four years,he returned to contract was ful- filled.

Killed A Man But Wouldn’t Steal, Charlotte Observer,8th. George Hannah,‘a 17-year-old ne- gro who for the past four years has been employed by Mr.L.H.Booth at his store on north Church street,yes- terday proved a murderer can be hon- est,for after having fatally wounded L.H.Cooksy,a white fireman for the Southern railroad,by shooting him twice with a pistol,he stopped at the cash drawer and took out just $2,the exact amount due him.There was other money in the drawer at the time Hannah was escaping the law,|but he only took his due.He asked a \clerk for the money,but as the clerk|was slow in moving and time was pressing,the negro acted cashier for jhimself.There were several dollars in the drawer,but he did hot take a cent abeve his wages.A few minutes later he disappeared. The shooting took place about 5 o’clock,“Hannah was a utility man in the place of business.The one clerk gt the time was busy.Cooksy and a friend made several purchases. The latter asked for a couple of “dopes.”These the negro served to them.The white men seemed to con- sider the matter of a negro clerk ina bad light.An areument followed. Hannah is said to have been hemmed in a corner.He drew a pistol from his pocket and fired twice.One ball entered Cooksy’s head behind the rent ear.Another entered the shoul-er. There were several white people in the store at the time,but none stop- ped the negro.Cooksy was taken toSt.Peter’s hospital,where he died two hours later. More Revolutions in Central America. Storm clouds over Central America with the single exception of Costa Rica,caused the United States Friday to order four warships there.Reports upon which this government took ac- tion come from many quarters and, though in most cases they are some- what vague and speculative,they are strongly of the general tenor—that it was no longer thought wise to per- mit American interests in Central America to remain exposed to any dangers. In Salvador,where fora long pe- riod peace has prevailed,the attempt- ed assassination last Tuesday of President Araujo by a band of con-spirators,is believed here to threaten trouble. From time to time have come ru- mors of rebellious movements in Honduras and unrest in Guatemala while in New Orleans there are gath- ering soldiers of fortune and adher- ents of Zelaya,the deposed.dictator, credited with sinister designs on thegovernmentofPresidentDiazofNicaragua. _HOW'S THis?

The State has $38,500 in bonds of the Statesville Air Line,a road pro- posed from Statesville to Yadkin- ville to Mount Airy,and $11,800 in the Transcontinental railroad,desig- nated to operate from Tennessee to Southport." That the State got it in the neck in the construction of the Wilkesbgro-efferson turnpike may be infetred from the comnient of the commission- ers.The State received $63,810 ‘in stock for convicts used in building this highway but the property has been sold to satisfy executions.The road is in very bad repair and the islature might appoint a committee to look into the affars of the com- pany.3 The lessees of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad have sub-stantially complied with the terms of their lease,but they have allowed the shops and piers and warehouses at Morehead Céty and New Berne to get in bad repair,The lessees should be held strictly to’the terms,the commis- sioners think..; With reference to the physical con- dition of the North Carolina railroad from Goldsboro to Greensboro,the commissioners do not say that the terms of the lease are violated,but they think some repairs might be made with propriety.:: The physical and sanitary condi-tions of the several State institutions are generally satisfactory.One of the newly erected buildings at the school for the feeble minded at Kins- ton,another at the negro normal school at Fayetteville and a third erected two years ago at the negro normal school at Elizabeth city con-tain material that should not be used in permanent public buildings,the commissioners declare.:Montrose Tuberculosis Sanitarium erating between Elkin and Thurmond.|p w LAN DMA RK |ABOUT THE MULE-FOOY HOG.| Said to Be a Superior Breed and Prof-itable to the Farmer. John A.Dunlap,in Southern Ruralist, This breed gets its name from its solid foot,which is solid like that ofahorseormule.The flesh is of a remarkably-fine flavor and is verytenderandpalatable.There are a great many ideas heldabouttheorigin,but this as well asthetendencyofthepure-bred Mule- Foot to assert itself with a solid foot when crossed with other breeds is stillpuzzlingthescientificworld. My attention was.called to this breed bya letter from Mr.Quinn,oftheUnitedStatesDepartmentofAg- riculture.It seems that the govern- ment has never been able to find out where or how this breed got its solidfoot.Tests made with ChesterWhites,Poland Chinas,Berkshires,Hampshires,Yorkshires and hogs with mixed breeding all show that theMule-Foot characteristi¢s are predom- inant.Even the Tamworth,which traces back to the wild hog,showsthesolidfootintheoffspringwhen crossed with a Mule-Foot. The tests show that Mule-Foot hogs are yery strong breeders.In color they are usually black,or black with white points.The notable differences as.compared with the Berkshires are a solid hoof,a longer and straighter face,greater length of neck,legs and sides and a better bene.They are gentle and very much like the Poland- China and Duroc-Jersey in disposition. heir coats are soft and the touch mellow,showing a good quality offlesh. Claims are made by breeders of the pure Mule-Foot hogs that,compared with other breeds:they are hardier, have greater vitality,mature earlier, and cost less to make the first 250 pounds.The sows are gentle,kind mothers,are usually very prolific, raising large litters of pigs,which if turned out will hustle for their liv- ing and will grow and thrive,paying big returns under good care and at- tention.They claim the pigs are har- dier and freer.from pig diseases than igs of other breeds,are great rovers, ustling for themselves from time ofbirth,and will often demand a premi-um on the market.Aristotle,who was born 384 B.:C.wrote of a race of hogs with undividedtoesorconsolidatedhoofs.Later,Linaeus,the Swedish naturalist,bornin1707,wrote that hogs with undivid-ed toes were not uncommon about hisnativetowninSweden.This hog hasbeenknowntonaturalistsindifferentpartsoftheworldformorethan2,-000 years.nay The full-blooded Mule-Foot hogs getaslargeasanyoftheotherbreedswhentheyhavethesamecare.Oneofthelargerboarsofthebreedweighed970pounds,and I have sev-eral that would weigh 1,000 pounds iffedtoputonweight.There have been only a few of thesehogsshownattheStateandcountfairs,because their breeders can ‘seilthemasfastastheycanproducethemandhavenotuadtimetoadvertiseinthatway. _ WIVES RULE THE KITCHENS.

No Danger of Their Tearing Crimi- nals to Pieces. Monroe Enquirer. The Anson county bloodhound law has been repealed and a corréspond- ent to the Ansonian says:“To put bloodhounds on the track of a sus- pected criminal to run him down and perhaps tear him to pieces is an act of barbarity that civilized people should not tolerate.”We thought that the repeal of the bloodhound law was because the bloodhound is a fake,pureandsimple,and that instead of catch- ing and tearing the fleeing criminal the fleay old bloodhounds went off to chasing rabbits or worrying unoffend- ing house ¢ats while the criminal made good his escape.Shed no tears about the bloodhound tearing any criminal,for the bloodhound is an inoffensive “old houn’dawg”just named bloodhound to scare somebodyortofoolsomeinnocentpurchaserof that same “dawg.”-(The idea that the hloodhounds have been eliminated as an act of hu-manity,lest they tear some criminal to pieces,is the greatest joke of the season.They have been eliminated because they are fakes of the first water.—The Landmark.)

The Raleigh News and Observer ob- jects to the State furnishing convict labor to build railroads and take pay in stock of these roads,and in giving voice to its objection it jumps on the Statesville Air Line road.Says the News and Observer: There is no more reason for the State of North Carolina to build a railroad in Iredell cotnty at the ex- pense of the people of the State than ere is in building a_railroad in Wake county or Mecklenburg county or any other county in the State where a part of the county.is far re- moved from a railroad.ee The State is obligated to build the road to Sparta,and it may be that it will have te let the convicts stay until July on the Iredell road,but this work should be finished as quickly as possi- ble and there is no call upon the State to finish the railroad from Statesville to Mount Airy.Statesville has good railroad facilities,the very best,and .go has Mount Airy.Unless private enterprise builds railroads,there is no reason for the State to build them ‘Gn this day. One may properly object to the State’s policy in this matter but in do- ing so it is well to be fair about it. Years ago,for the purpose of develop- ing the State,this custom of furnish- ing convicts for railroad work,the State taking stock in the roads as payment,was put in practice.It was justified then on the ground that the building of railroad lines developed the State,added greatly to the wealth and taxable property of the State; and that if stock in these enterpris- es should not in all cases prove a paying proposition,that the develop- ment as a result of building the roads and the roads themselves added so much to the taxable values of the State that the State was compensat- ed indirectly.Whether it was wise to continue that policy may be ques tioned,but so long as it had prevailed and was continued,Iredell,Yadkin and Surry counties,which are inter- ested in the Statesville Air Line,had and have as much right to the bene- fits of this policy as any county that has received it;and Wake or Meck- lenburg or any other county would have received the same consideration under similar conditions.There was no special favor.-When convicts came to the Statesville Air Line they were sent from Hyde county,where they had just-finished a road;and for some years State convicts have been at work on the Elkin and Alle- ghanyroad. The News and Observer says the State is obligated to build the Elkin and Alleghany to .Sparta...Why? What reason is there for building this road that does not exist in the case of the Statesville Air Line?States- ville and Mt.Airy have railroad fa- cilities and so has Elkin,the begin- ning of the Elkin and Alleghany.But the Air Line isn’t being built for the benefit of Statesville and Mt.Airy alone and it is unfair to try to cre- ate that impression.The Statesville Air Line develops a large section that has no railroad facilities and it is for that purpose it is being built.If the editor of the News and Observer will look at the map he will see that the northern half of Iredell county, #section rich in timber,water powers and other undeveloped resources,has no railroad facilities.He will see al-so that Yadkin county,‘one of the best farming counties in the State, “~has“noraitroadfaeitities.“It “is through this undeveloped section of north Iredell,through Yadkin,a coun- ty without a railroad;and through a section of Surry that has no rail-road that the Statesville Air Linewillrun.This section is just as im- portant and has just as strong aclaimonthefavoroftheStateasthesectionpenetratedbytheElkinandAlleghany,.Moreover,the peopleoftheterritorythroughwhichtheStatesvilleAjrLinerunsarenotaskingtheStatetodoitall.TheyareputtingintothisroadonedollarforeveryonetheStateputsin.They have voted bonds,are taxingthemselvestohelpthemselvesandtheyhavearighttoaskthesamehelpfromtheStatethatothershavere-ceived and are now receiving. The attempt of the News and Ob-server to make the Statesville AirLineroadthegoatinthismatteris@greatinjustice.If it is not rightfortheStatesvilleAirLinetore-ceive this help it is not right for theElkinandAlleghanytoreceiveit.

This company has not been abletoraisefundstoequrptheroad.ThereasonforhiringStateconvictstothiscompanyandtakingstockof said company in payment of their la~ bor,seems,on thé part of the State, to have been to open up and give to the rich county of Hyde railroad com-munication with the outside world; we therefore recommend that some such disposition of the State’s inter- est in this road be made.as will-re- sult in its early equipment without urthér cost to the State. The work of gradmg the Elkin andAlleghanyrailroad,in which _theStatehasinterest,is progressing ‘Sat-isfactorily,some 14 miles having been graded and ironed.This work is be- ing done by convict labor for which the State receives and now holdsstockinthecompanyoftheparval- ue of $140,000 under an act of the General Assembly.We do not know its cash value. The work of grading by convicts isprogressingontheStatesvilleAirLine railroad and the State’s interest inthesameisnow$388,500 face valueinthecompany’s stock,cash value un- known.* The State holds stock of the face value of $11,800 in ene Trans -Con- tinental Railway,issued in paymentofworkofconvicts.Eighteen con- viets “Bre stil)employed in grading this road for which work the State will receive additionar shares of stock. We can place no present or future alue on this stock. The Wilkesboro -Jefferson Turn- pike,in which the State holds stock of the par value of $63,819,issued in pay- ment of convict labor,is in bad phy- sical condition.This stock,we think, is without market value. Wetherefore suggest that a joint committee of the General Assembly be appointed to look into the affairs of this company,that proper steps may be taken to safeguard the State’s interest in this property,if it can now be done,or.that such disposition be made of the State’s stock in the same as may seem wise to your honorable body. We find that the terms of the contract of lease of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad have been substantially complied with on the part of the lessees or their assignssinceourlastreportexceptashere-inafter follows:That the report of the expert on part of the State,is a true and ‘detailed account of the affairs and property of the company,and weconcurinthefollowingtakenfrom his last report:“The road-bed is not up to the required standard.”The shops (partially burned several years ago)are in about the same chaotic condition as last year,and we have no definite information to report astowhentheshopsaretoberebuilt, if at all. That the physical condition of the North Carolina railroad from Golds- boro to Greensboro,is not such as the safety and best interest of the public demand;but we are not prepar- ed to say that the condition of thesameisnotsubstantiallyuptothe requirements of the terms of the lease.But one or more of the old shop buildings in Burlington badly need repairing if they are considered worth preserving. We.find the physical and sanita- ry conditions of the several State in- stitutions,and those institutions that receive financial aid from the State, generally satisfactory.With the ex- ception of the unsatisfactory condi- tion of one of the newly-erected build- ings at the School for the Feeble- Minded at Kinston,and one at the Ne- gro Normal School at Fayetteville and the building erected about two years ago at the Negro NormalSchoolatFlizabettrCity,we have Tid- thing to add to what we said in our last report under this head,towit:“Inouropinionmuchofthematerialandworkmanshipandonthesebluildings (and others not spectally referred to) are not such as should be used in permanent public buildings at State institutions.” State demands the best in materialsandworkmanship. For the financial condition of all institutions,we respectfully refer to the special reports of the special au- ditors,filed in the Governor’s office under the statute. We entered very fully into an ex- amination of the North Carolina San- atorium for the Treatment of Tuber- culosis.We found that there hasbeenplannedanenterpriseofvast importance to the people of the State. The sanatorium is of strategic im-portance in the battle against theGreatWhitePlague,and the Legis- lature should provide for its work on a basis consistent with its impor- tance.”We especially recommend that provision be made for free wards for treatment of incipient cases,notfewerthanonehundredfreebedsshouldbeprovidedforthosetoopoor to pay..Appeals for admittance con- to pay,are heartrending.Refusal isequivalenttodeathsentence,~Four and two years ago this board,complying with the statute,respect-fully_suggested—to-the-General Agssembly“that steps should be taken‘looking to removing the School fortheWhiteBlindChildren‘to morecommodiousquarters;that the schoolhadoutgrownitspresentcrampedsiteintheheartofthecityofRal-eigh,and must be soon removedwherethechildrencouldhavesuf-ficient breathing room and proper y areDrugCo.play grounds;that further expendit-_Ure of money on the present plant Mr...B.CG.Beckwith,of.Raleigh,D weakens te"remove this.institution to..some.con-venient point near the city of Ral-eigh,where necessary land can be hadforpresentrequirementsandfutureSoonerorlatersomesuchactionmustbetaken-—-the sooner the growth. better,if economy is considered..A thorough study of the work oftheOxfordOrphanAsylumconvincesusthatitisentitledtoadditionalaidfromtheState.We therefore re-spectfully suggest that in our opin-ion the appropriation to this insti-tution rh to be increased from tenthousanddollarstotwentythousanddollarsayear, The boys’dormitory at the OxfordNegroOrphanageisanold,rotten, ramshackle barn-like firetrap,open to the four winds,impossible of beingproperlyheatedorkeptclean.There is constant danger of fire and loss of life therefrom,as the whole buildingisattemptedtobeheatedfromthe lower floor by a large cylinder stove,the pipe leading through the secondfloorandthence,through the roof.If fire should occur on the lower floor inthenighttime,escape from the up-per story would be almost impossible,as the exit is by narrow stairway near the front of the building...The State ought either to withdraw itsconnectionwiththisinstitutionorap- propriate a sum sufficient to remedypresentevilconditions.We recom- mend an appropriation.The Stonewall Jackson Train- ing school is doing a great work.It isworthyofspecialconsiderationat your hands. Several of the old buildings at the University need repairing to preserve|ze them;the new buildings are in good condition.Without going into details as to the needs of the University in order to place it on a footing of ef- ficiency for its work we feel that we ought to specially refer to one thing needful at the University—a dining hall to ace6mmodate the students now|w there and others to come.The pres- ent arrangements are inadequate.Theequipmentisnotonlyinsufficient,but it is old,wornout and unsanitary,and is,in our opinion,a disgrace to the State.

Ever since the Legislature.assem-bled there have been rumors that money was being used to influence members of both honses in the inter- est of some one of the senatorial ean- didates,but the stories were not sup- ported by tangible evidence and the entire matter was passed as an or- dinary feature of a hard-fought po- litical battle.Recently,however, Rhodes is alleged to have said,accord- ing to the prosecutor,that for some- thing over $50,000 he could change six votes in the two houses,Acting on this report,it is stated, Prosecutor Townsend employed detec- tives.They had been.watching the balloting for several weeks and were in close touch with the situa- tion.After the arrests,it was said, arrangements had been made for the change in the voting this week.: As reported it was to start achangeofavoteortwo,the first day,followed by other changes,until the necessary number hac been won over. Part of the programme was carried out and today was arranged as “pay day.’The men were called to a ho- |tel and,it is charged,they were there paid with marked bills.In an ad- joining room Prosecutor Townsend and Sheriff Hill awaited the signal that was to lay bare the alleged bri- bery.They had only a few minutes to wait,for,the transaction over, the door was opened and the men in- vited to enter. There stood the wneriff and pros- ecutor,both of whom all the legisla- tors knew.For a moment no one moved,and then without hesitancy the sheriff told the accused they were under arrest. Prosecutor Townsend had prepar- ed his plans so that the men could be taken at once to the office of Justice of the Peace Deering,where -theywouldbepermittedtoplead.The lost no time in su:mmoning counsel, and within a few minutes after the arrests were in the justice's office.It is reported that the men arrest- ed were to have voted for one of the leading candidates for United StatesSenatorandsomeofthevoteswere to have been delivered today,when the House and Senate in joint ses- sion took its sixth ballot for Senator. Rhodes,the delegate who placed Isaac T.Mann in nomination,is said to have been the man for which the prosecutor played from the beginning.It was stated after the arrest that ofthe$20,090 altered to have been -paid in marked mor.ey to the legislators he | received $15,000.Duff is alleged to) have received $2,000 and each of the others $1,000.| “T believe that there is more of this| thing roing on and propose to rout itout,”said Prosecutor Townsend to-| night.“It is my purpose to go into| every phase of it and from what I) know now I think we have only start- ed.As soon as possible I will con-| sult with the court concerning the} calling ‘of a special grand jury,not only that this charge may be taken| up,but that the entire situation may} be thoroughly investigated.WhileIcan’t say at this minute that there will be additional arrests,I can say| that there may be.I don’t want to} say that the candidates for Senator| have been buying votes,but I have| reason to believe there are votes for sale in West Virginia and if there are | we want to know it.” Increased Pay For Telegraphers.

Such is the case with Editor Johnson and The Landmark confesses that it sometimes falls in the same class. But public officials must remember that vublic criticism is a part of the penalty of public position;and pub- lic officials who are lawyers,as most of them are,would do well to bear in mind,when chafing under what they feel is uniust newspaper criticism, the many times they have,for a mon- ey consideration,bullyragged and browheaten witnesses and before juries have made most unjust and cruel insinuations purely to carry a point.That,they will say,is a part of the business of the profession,but it will hardly be denied that it is too often carried to excess.Furthermore also,members of the Legislature themselves often in the heat of argu- ment denounce their own colleagues and ‘insinuate improper motives. When they feel outraged by newspa- per criticism,if they will reflect on these matters they will have a little more charity for the editor who is severe at times.Moreover,there are few editors who deliberately and pur- posely misrepresent anybody or any- thing.When they do so through misunderstanding a letter showing they are wrong will not only be pub- lished but will bring the amende hon- orable if they are convinced they are wrong. The Greensboro News admits that the proposed western North Carolina training school is probably a dead is- sue so far as this session of the Leg- islature is concerned,but it excus s the demand for it on the ground that Boone and Cullowhee schools are not accessible and that a training school should be built on a railroad at a more accessible.point.That should have been thought of when the Boone and Cullowhee schools were establish- ed._It is a poor excuse now to say, after the State has put much money into these schools,that they are not conveniently located and that anoth- er should be established with a con- sequent large expenditure for build- ~ings and maintenance.The State school business shouldte ‘allowed to’ rest,at least so far as new schools are concerned,until the State gets in condition to take care of the institu- tions now depending on it. Extravagant Appropriations Attack- ed in Congress. »A hot attack upon Democrats of| e House for their “extravagant”ap- *propriations was delivered on the floor Friday by Representative Rod- denberry of Georgia,who declared that the appropriation bills should die at this session and go over to the next Congress,when “they could be prop- erly pruned by a Democratic House and Senate.” “The agricultural appropriation bill, the army bill,”he said,“both show an increase The rivers and har- bors bill is narly twice as large aslastyear.The big sundry civil bill is yet to come.The naval bill is in- creased practicalty $30,000,000,Where is the bill in which we have carried out our pledge to the people,_that we would reduce the expendi- tures of-public money?Where are thereformswepromisedwhenwede- nounced the Republicans for theirgrossprofligacyintheexpenditureofthepeople’s funds?” The case of Mrs.Ed.L.Heilig,whoguedtheNationalLifeInsurance _Company of Vermont for $10,000,the“amount of a policy held by her latehusband,was tried in Rowan Superior'Court last week and resulted in a ver-for the company.Mr.Heilig,was under treatment in a privatehospital.in Mor;m,was found-dead in thewoods neat that,town inSeptember,1910.result- ‘from #gun shot wound.The com-‘pany refused payment on the groundsuicide.i isTeymong that there will be 0 and sailors from theandStatemilitiaserviceintheWilsoninauguration.ItodPsmarchers pi a3 J n Said That Aroused thebers—The Resolution of Censure.The Landmark mentioned brieflyinitslastissuethedisturbanceinthe House of the Legislature ThursdayasaresultofaneditorialinCharity and Children,the paper published in behalf of the Baptist orphanage atThomasville.Mr.Archibald Johnson,the editor of Charity and Children,isoneoftheablesteditorsintheState and he expresses himself with free-dom.His remarks which arousedtheHousewereasfollows:“Thanks to the Senate,the horri- ble divorce bill introduced by Repre-sentative Stewart and which passedtheHousewaskilledbeforetheSen-ate committee by an overwhelming vote.The fact that such a bill gothalfwaythroughtheLegislatureisenoughto.cause us to stop and thinkalittle.We are entirely too careless in selecting men to represent us inRaleigh.We send a lot of moral mol- lycoddles there,whose intentions are good enough,but who are as innocent of color ‘and conviction as so many gate posts.They are led around by the nose by men stronger than themselves,and have about as much foresight as a drove of mules. “Fortunately we are usually a lit-tle more careful in our selection ofSenators;and this has saved us many a time from wild and foolish legis- lation and from laws that open the flood gates to immorality and vice. “We thank the Lord that this Stew-art bill,which aimed at the heart of the firesidé and the home,is as dead as a door nail;and it is not likely that another like it will be presented before this Legislature. Our present divorce law is not credit- able to the virtue of the State,and to lower the bars would put us out- side the pale of respectability. “The House of Representatives is not as strong a body as we hoped when it first assembled.It has a few strong men in it,some of whom are much more ambitious than patriotic, and there is danger that the House will prevent some legislation that is greatly needed,notably the provision for a six months’term of our public schools. “But whatever is done or omitted we have great reason for gratitudethatthedivorcebillhasbeenputto sleep.” Copies of Charity and Children were on the desks of every member and Senator Thursday morning.They were not sent to call attention to the criticism quoted above but to in- vite attention to an editorial in the same paper opposing the increase of the appropriation to the Oxford or- phanage from $10,000 to $20,000.Mr. Stewart of Mecklenburg,however, saw the criticism of his divorcee bill.Rising to a question of personal privi-lege he read the editorial and replied to it.He arraigned Editor Johnson for the criticism and contended that the members of the House are intel- lectually and morally—the equals of any past legislators.Mr.Devin of Granville,who was probably more displeased about the criticism of the Oxford orphanape appropriation than he was concerned about the criticism of the divorce bill,offered the fol- lowing resolution: “Resolved,that the House of Rep- resentatives condemn the unjust criticiem of this body contained in an editorial in Charity and Children of February 13.as reflecting on the in- tegrity,patriotism and intelligence of the members of this House.” Mr.Murphy of Rowan sugrestedthattheeditorialbecompletelyig- nored as more }efitting the uncalled for utterances of the editor Mr.Jus- tice suggested that Archibald John- eon be appointed 2 committee of one to suggest legislation for the General Assembly.Mr.Long thought that insult was added to injury when the editor had the effrontery to distribute copies of the paper to the mem- bers.Mr.McNider suggested that the Legislature should change the name of Charity and Children to “Chastise- ment of Children.”Mr,Austin sug- gested that some “Sunday _school” words should be added to the.lmg- guage used in the Devin resolution.PAO resdRtidi tpwsved ~uramendud™ President Vetoes Immigration Bill. President Taft Friday vetoed the Dillingham-Burnett immigration poli- cy of the United States by imposing a literacy test upon all foreigners seek- ing a honre in America. In a short message to the Senate in his own handwriting the President announced his disapnroval of the measure solely because of the provi- sion which would lock the doors of the United States against the alien who could not read some language or dialect.The veto message was.ac- companied by «letter to the President from Secretary Nagel,denouncing the literacy test as a radical provision, “based upon a fallacy in undertaking o apply a test,which is not calculat- ed to reach the truth and to find relief from a danger whith really does not exist.” Senate and House leaders lost no time in arranging for an effort to over-ride -the veto.This is the sec- ond time that a literacy test for im- migrants has been vetoed by a Presi- dent,Grover Cleveland in 1897 having refused to approve a bill barringalienswhocouldnotreadandwrite. -y Boro LE —. t Ts er queer line of reason-ng.that wolildargueagainst theStatelendingfurtheraid-toconstructionontheground that thestockwouldbeofnovalue,and thentoarguethattheStateshouldnotsellitsinterestintheAtlantic&NorthCarolinarailroadonthegroundthatitwilllaterbeofmuchgreatervaluetotheState.If new lines of.rail- ation,is it not right to presume thatthestockwillbeworthsomething?Having gone as far as the State haswiththeStatesvilleAirLine,theStateshould‘continue to lend its aiduntiltheroadiscompleted.Maybeaftertheso-called money.trust is dis-solved,voluntarily or forcibly,newrailwayprojectswillbeableto-findcapitaltofinanceconstructionwork.But as conditions have been in the past,State and county assistance thas been necessary to construction ofmany:lines.‘Just at the time when the State is trying.to get betterfreightrates,it would be a very poor policy to:withdraw assistance fromrailroadswhichdesiretoopenupnewsectionsofthecountryor‘to bring paper into towns now monopo- lize The Common Sense of the Proposition.Monroe Enquirer.Semi-occasionally some _citizen arises and advocates taking the StateconvictsoffofthefarmsontheRoan- oke river and putting them to build- ing highways.The convicts are now making money for the State,but if they were taken off the farm and put on the roads instead of putting money into the treasury thousands of dol-lars would be taken out of the treas-ury annually :o support them.Good roads are most desirable and they are not built for nothing,but to put theStateconvictstobuildingroadshere and there over the State and cut off the revenue derived from the §tate fayms and have the politicians manip- ulating the location of the road-build- ing camps—would it pay?

With the exception of Postmaster Joseph Camp,of Beebe,Ark.,theSenatecampaigncommitteetodaylaunchedintoaninquiryofthepresi- dential campaign of 1912.Details of an assessment upon of-ficeholders in Arkansas by the Repub- lican State committee were described by Camp,who said he had been com- pelled to resign under protest as post- master at Beebe,Ark. Camp produced letters signed byGordonH.Campbell,treasurer of the|Republican State committee,demand- ‘ing a contribution of $390.Camp ob-served that was 3 per cent of his sal- ary and he did not make the contri-bution.

Greensboro Special,11th,to CharlotteObserver. M.L.Shepherd,an inventor from Montgomery,Ala.,yesterday exhibit- ed to Southern Railway officials here a device which,it is claimed,will stop accidents caused by open or split switches.It is claimed for Mr.Shep- herd’s device that it eotomatiad opens and closes switches and is so constructed that the main line is at‘all times clear.A brake from the jengineer’s cab serves to open the jswitch,which at all times automatic- ;ally closes as soon as the last car has |passed from the main line. |In backing out,a spring opens the |switch and again automatically closes it when the cars leave the sidetrack.|It is said to be impossible for a switch|to ever be left open—and since 15,000 deaths and injuries were due to this one thing during last year,the value of the invention is quickly seen. Railroad officials who witnessed the j}demonstration by Mr.Shepherd de- clared that his device was the mostplausibleandpractical6fthekind they had ever seen.It is simple inconstructionandsobuiltthatthere is nothing to cause a tie-up.The Southern,it is said,will put on one or two for test purposes at once.

A CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE Mr,Rathvon of Boston Spoke at the Court House Tuesday Evening. Mr.William R.Rathvon of BostonlecturedonChristianScienceatthecourthouseTuesdayevening.He was introduced by Mr.T.E.Fry and was heard by an audience of 100 or morepersons.Mr.Rathvon said in part:“It has been asserted that Chris-tian Scientists place their text-book above the Bible as the guide to right- eousness.No one can honestly makethisallegationwhohasreadthebook carefully,for on page 497 of Science and Health are printed these words, the first of a series of tenets of our religion: “*As adherents of Truth we taketheinspiredWordoftheBibleasour sufficient-guide to eternal Life.’ “The truths of Christian Science do not originate in the book Science andHealth.They find expression there but their origin is God They have always existed and will forever exist. What effect,then,it may be asked, does-the study of this book have upon those who have previously been Bible students?Does it supplant the Bi- ble in their reverence and admira- tion?Is the Book of books less precious to them than before?The answer is,no.On the other hand Sciance and Health harmonizes many ‘sdeming incongruities in the Biblewhichhavelongperplexedlayman and theologian;it explains apparent contradictions;it discloses unexpect- ed riches;it gives new significance to favorite passages and brings neglect- ed ones inte favor. “The study and application of its teachings by those who have had lit- tle or no familiarity with the Scrip- tures has made them Bible students and Bible lovers. “There is no such thing as a pure- ly theoreticél Christian Scientist.No man can become a Christian Scientist by merely believing in the teachings of its text-book without practicing We are Christian only as we put into constant practice our knowledge of our religion,be that knowledge great or small.We are Christian Scientists only as we arekindandhelpfulinthoughtanddeed; only as we think health and talk health instead of disease and disas- ter.We are Christian Scientists only as we say to evil mental suggestion,Peace,be still!’Only as we are lov- ing and courageous and resolute and unswerving in our warfare against sin,sickness and death.” Church News.

Apparently seeing the inevitable and wishing to save something out of the wreck,Madero made an offer to Felix Diaz to bring about the resig- nation of Vice President Pino Suarez and the entire cabinet,but ‘insisted that he himself should remain in of- fice.This offer was rejected.

The News and Observer,never con- spicuous for fairness,is particularly unfair in this case.It takes pains to leave the impression that the States- ville Air Line is being built for the benefit of Iredell alone,while it well knows the road is to penetrate one of the best undeveloped counties in the State—Yadkin—which has no railroad.Most of these railroad lines start on some other road.The Elkin and Alleghany started at Elkin,on the railroad,and it would be just about as fair to say that road is being built for Surry,which has railroad connection at Elkin and Mt.Airy,as to say the Air Line is being built for Iredell because it connects at States- ville. The News and Observer says it would be just as fair to build roads for Wake and Mecklenburg as to build them for Iredell.The State has built roads for Wake and Meck- lenburg.The fact is that every road built in the State until very recent years was built by State aid.Every road in Mecklenburg county,probably, was built by State aid;and so was every road in Wake up to a few years ago.In aiding in this railroad con- struction which developed Wake and Mecklenburg and other sections,the State accumulated a debt and much of the State’s bonded debt today is a result of railroad building for Wake and Mecklenburg.The back counties like Yadkin and a few others,not so highly favored as Wake and Mecklen- burg,have all these years paid taxes to pay interest on the bonds that built railroads for Wake and Mecklenburg. It was all right for these undevelop- ed counties,that have no railroads and who,in these latter days,since they have paid taxes to help make Wake and Mecklenburg rich,not in- frequently have the word pauper cast into their faces—it was all right,we say,for these so-called pauper coun- ties té help build Tailroads for Wake and Mecklenburg;but now when these poor counties ask for the same aid that has been given their more high- ly favored sisters,it is all wrong—it is unconstitutional. The speech of Senator Thornton of Louisiana on the bill regulating the: inter-State shipments of liquér— known as the Webb bill—printed in this paper,is a fine presentation of the measure and its purposes.The bill does not,as:popularly supposed, prevent the shipment of liquor from a State where it can be sold into a State where it cannot be sold.But when these shipments of liquor reachterritorywherethesaleofliquorisprohibitedtheyaresubjecttothepolicepowersandregulationsofthat State.If the shipment be for theprivateuseoftheindividualandisinsuchquantityasprescribedbythelawoftheStateintowhichtheship-ment comes,it is not interferredwith.But if the quantity exceeds theamountprescribedforanindividualforprivateconsumptionandthereisreasontobelievethattheliquoristobedisposedofcontrarytothe,law of have the power to interfere.Sena-tor Thornton makes a strong pointwhenhesaysthatthegeneralgov-ernment has no right to permit itslawsandregulationsto,be used tohelpevadethelawsoftheStatesandtherightoftheStatestoregulateor‘euppress the liquor traffic cannot be ie er cent bid it shallberesold.Mr.Thomas’bill.should apply to all mortgage sales.Many a time,because there is a small at- tendance at a sale for one reason or another and nobody is interested,a poor devil whose land goes to sale under mortgage loses his all because nobody is there to make it bring its worth.A case in point that happen- ed in Statesville.A colored man who owned a small tract of land had mortgaged it.Another colored man offered him $125 for it.The fellow under mortgage refused,saying the land was worth $150 and if he couldn’t sell it privately for that he would let the mortgagee sell it.The mortgagee’s claim was near $70.The land was advertised.The colored man who wanted to buy couldn’t at- tend the sale but he ’phoned a white friend to run the land up to $125,say- ing that was all the money he had. The white man attended the sale andstartedthelandat$70,the amount of the mortgage.Not another bid was put on and the-colored man got for $70 property he would gladly have paid $1265 for. There are many such cases and a remedy should be provided.One way is to pass Mr.Thomas’bill and ap- ply it to all legal sales and another is to have a regular sales day,the first Monday in.each month,and requirealllegalsalestobeheldonthatday. The Mecklenburg Bar Association has requested Senator Pharr of that coun- ty to introduce in the Legislature a bill-requiring all judicial sales in Mecklenburg to be held on the fitst and third Mondays in each month, The Senator acquiesced and the pro-posal will doubtless be enacted into law.A regular sales Jay would insure a good attendance and there wouldbelittledangerofpropertyselling at one-half or one-fourth its valueforlackofpurchasers. Pension Bill,Carrying $180,300,000 Passed House By Vote of 219 to 40. Washington Dispatch,18th. The largest pension bill ever re- ported to Congress,carrying appro- priations agrregating —$180,300,000, was passed by the House late today, by a vote of 219 to 40,with an amend- ment which will make necessary an additional appropriation of more than $1,000,000.= A small number of Democrats,led by Representative Roddenberry of Georgia,made futile efforts to add amendements to bar from the pension rolls veterans having incomes exceed- ing $1,000 a year and not entitled to pensions on account of wounds or dis- ability sustained in the military ser- vice. As reported by the committee the bill contained a paragraph providing that after July 1,1913,no pension should be paid to a non-resident not a citizen of the United.States,except for actual disabilities incurred in “the service.A motion by Representative Goode of Iowa to strike out this paragraph was carried 154 to 112, many Democrats joining with the solid Republican minority in supportofthemotion.It is estimated that something over $1,000,000 is paid an- nually to veterans who would have been barred by this paragraph.

Dog Tax May Be Paid in Fox Tails. Representative Williams of Hert-ford county has a bill pending in the Legislature that places an unusual tax on all dogs in the county,butprovidesthatthetaxmaybe»paid in whole or in part in fox tails.It is remarkable,too,that credit is to be given dog owners on their taxes not on account of the commercial value of the tails,for-it is not necessary that the entire tail be presented,but enough of it to show that a fox has been caught.Mr.Williams is evidently a diplo- mat.He would conciliate the fox hunters by allowing them to pay their dog tax in fox tails while he willpleaseother's by thus encouraging the extermination of foxes.

FRIDAY,--February 21,1913. "The leaders of the forces which had been fighting in Mexico City for ten days entered into an agreement which resulted in ousting Madero and a new government has been set up. Whether the dissatisfied elements throughout MeXico which have ha- rassed Madero will accept the new regime is a matter of doubt;and whether the new government can en- force Jaw and order is also a mat- ter of doubt.| The bill prepared by Representa- tives Grier and Kellum and Senator Jones,placing certain public service corporations under the control of the corporation commission and imposing certain regulations on telephone com- panies which are of local interest in Statesville,was unfavorably reported by the joint committee of the Legisla- ture.A bill of Representative Kel- lum,which embraces many features of the’other bill,was favorably re- ported by the House committee and passed the House Wednesday.It is now pending in the Senate. The salary law for Iredell county, as prepared and introduced in the Legislature,is printed in full in The Landmark today.The salary allow- ances are reasonable and altogether, we take it,the bill will be generally satisfactory.The feature/imposing a penalty of 10 per cent.on all taxes not paid until more than/a year after they are due,this penalty to be giv- en to persons appointed to collect such unpaid taxes,is/to insure a more prompt payment of taxes and to take care of the collection of taxes in the event a sheriff should be negligent in collecting.The time allowed for payment before the penalty is im- posed is ample and the proposition to make one who waits to be forced to pay his taxes pay the cost of col- lection is fair and just. The Landmark has received from Raleigh an anonymous circular sign- ed “A Plain Democrat,”urging it to oppose a reassessment of property this year,it being rumored that the finance committee of the Legislature will provide for a reassessment in the new revenue and machinery act.The greatest need of the State by far is some system whereby the assessment of property can be equalized and all the taxable property of the State put on the tax books.Under the present system some property pays more than a just proportion of taxes,while most of it pays less than a just proportion. The assessment should be equalized, whether the property is assessed at 25,50 or 100 per cent.At present the assessment varies from 15 up to 100 per cent.If there was an equali- ty of taxation and all property liable for taxes justly taxed,the tax rate could be reduced and the State would have an abundance of revenue.If in devising a scheme for just and equal taxation”a reassessment —is necessary,then The no objection to the reassessment. Landmark has Favoring the bill in the Legislature which would give women the right to serve as members of school and committees,the News and Observer says: boards school No woman should be made eligibleforapositioninorderthatshemight hold a job.The prime Consideration is public service.There is no demand from the women of-North Carolina, and no need now,to give them the ballot,but the schools need them,the children need them,the men need them.Most of the teachers are wo- men.Women have most to do with the training and education of the chil- dren.They know more about the schools in one minute than a man does in a week.They know the defects and needs of the schools and if we have women on the school boards there would be better sanitation in our school buildings,there would be moré,peautiful school yards,more pic- tured-on the -wals,there would be a spirit of uniting the school and the home that is most essential.If wo- men will accept this burdensome sery- ice,the men ought to beg them to do 80. Sensible.The women should not be given entire control of the schools; that would not be wise.But the pres- ence of a few sensible women on the school boards would help much. On May 25 to 28 Greensboro Cols lege for Women will celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary in its his- tory.The popular president,Mrs.iucy H.Robertson,and the execu- tive committee of the Alumnae Asso- ciation have mapped out a most at- tractive programme for this occasion.The whole exercises will grander scale than anything ever at-tempted at the college before. " Among the features,which will make this date memorable,the _wish to unveil the portraits of the|-@ight presidents who have been fore-most in making the history of thecollege.

In the House Tuesday bills were introduced to prvent obstruction of streams.The Carlton bill to authorize any commissioner éf deeds to take proof of deeds in certain cases,passed third reading.A bill defining bigamy passed third reading and was ordered enrolled. The bill to amend the lien law of North Carolina came up on second reading,with several amendments, Mr.Brawley explained that the amendments simply strike out the provisions requiring.bonds of con- tractors and the architects’lien provis- ion.The bill still contains a provis- ion requiring contractors to give bonds in municipal contracts. Mr.Kellum offered an amendment to strike out the word “architect” wherever it appears.This was adopt- ed.He offered another amendment that if owner could not be found no- tice may be given by attaching same to logs or lumber.Adopted. Mr.Carlton offered an amendment to strike out section two of the bill. The amendment was adopted.The bill nassed second reading and on ob- jection went over on third reading. The bill providing for uniform bills of lading passed seeond and third reading without hitch. In the Senate Monday there was considerable argument over a bill pro- viding that the State should issue 4 per cent road bonds,in amounts as large as $500,000 a year for forty years,receiving therefor 5 per cent county bonds.The idea is to help the sale of county road bonds and save the counties money without loss to the State.The bill was finally referred to the finance committee and made special order for next Tuesday. Among the bills passed by the Sen- ate was one providing that owners of 25 per cent of stock in private cor- porations may order books audited.Bills introduced in the House:To protect landowners against loose stock;to prohibit peddling drugs and medicines and to regulate the dis- tribution of patent medicines;to pro- vide optional commission governmentforthemunicipalitiesoftheState; to require full crews on freight trains;to require more effective serv- ice by railroad companies in checking baggage;to regulate the moving of freight trains;for the protection of live stock (by Grier of Iredell). Numerous local bills were passed, among them one to provide for the erection of an iron bridge across the Yadkin river near Elkin and one for road improvement in Davie county. MATTERS OF NEWS. Bitter cold and snow have caused a partial suspension of hostilities in the Balkan war. |“The House Wednesday refused by la vote of 213 to 114 to pass the Dil- |lingham-Bennett immigration _bill over the President’@ veto.A few days previous the Senate passed the same bill over the President’s veto. Fire in the business section of Win- ston-Salem Wednesday did damage estimated at.$175,000,mostly cov- ered by insurance.The fire started in thé store of Brown-Rogers Hardware €o.

Washington Dispatch. Senator Overman has frustrated an alleged scheme to secure lifetime jobs for the postmasters of East and West Durham.News reached Mr.Over- man in a telegram from well known Durham citizens,that petitions had been circulated secretly among the Republicans of Durham,asking that the East and West Durham offices, which are of the third class,be made sub-stations of the Durham office. This would mean that the presentpostmasterswouldbecoveredunder the civil service and would hold their jobs as long as they maintained good behavior. The Senator demanded that the or- der be held up until he himself and the citizens of Durham had been given a hearing in protest.Mr.Granfield assented to this and the matter is now open. | Fresh tomatoés,squash,parsnips, e th Carolina }Re-ferred to As “Death House.

Catawba County News./ Just why any one should think thatstrychninewillnotkillahogaswell as a dog or any other animal is one of those things which we will not at- tempt to explain.There is one maninCatawbacountythatknowsthatstrychninewillkillahogandthat man is our good friend Mr.TomEdwards. Here is the substance of his ex-perience.He sold a pig to a good wo-man on Middlebrook hill and in abouttwoweeksafterthesale,he call for his pay.He was invited downthepigpentoseehowmuchthepig had grown and was astonished to seehowlargetheaforesaidpigwas.Heenquiredwhatkindoffoodthepig had been given to make the anigrowsorapidly.The lady informedhimthatshehadbeendosingthesaid and aforesaid pig on strychnine.Mr.Edwards was amazed and said:“Will not strychnine kill a pig?”He wasassureditwoulddonosuchthing.Whereupon,Mr.Edwards took him-self to the Clapp Drug store where heagainwasassuredthatstrychnine would not kill a hog.Therefore the said Edwards armed himself with lowing morning,which happened tobetheLord’s Day,secured a pail ofmilkandbeganhisroundsatthepig sty.The said and aforesaid Edwardstookhispocketknifeandmeasuredonthepointoftheblade,as he had been advised,the correct amount to make a hog grow.He went from one swine patient to another and felt surehewasrenderingaservicetoapart of the animal kingdom,even on the Lord’s Day.fBythetimethesixthpatienthad been reached the milk had given out so that other patients would have to wait for another day to receive their |dose of hog growing medicine.About\this time Mr.Edwards saw the feet \of some of \his patients flying thick land fast in the air.Two of said hogsjhadthepowertovomittheirdoses land in a pair of minutes all of thelotherhogsthathadreceivedthemedi- icine to make them grow were dead jhogs.A loss cf about $70 to Mr.Ed- |wards.Mr.Edwards is not “from Mis-souri”on the subject of what strych- nine will do for a hog.He knows |what it will de from experience,al- though he had been assured that the little specks or holes that are seen on the hogs feet were the safety valves to let.the excess of all poisoning mat- jter pass out of hogs. |(Mr,L.C.Sides,of ‘Loray,who |happened to be in the office when the jabove item was clipped,was askedforanopiniononthesubject._He said he knew from experience that strychnine will kill hogs.He lost one 'from a dase cone time.The hog was buried and another hog rooted it up, ate some and came near dying.—The| Landmark.) Winston-Salem Going After Collector| and Collector's Office. Winston-Salen.Journal,18th. Winston-Salem is going after the| collector’s office in dead earnest,and| unless hard work and good argu ment have lost their force the next collector of internal revenue for the Western North Carolina District will be Col.Garland E.Webb and his of fice will be located in Winston-Salem, whence practically all the internal revenue is derived and where the office ought to have been for the last twen- ty-five vears,At least that is what the tobacco manufacturers of this city who pay the revenue taxes of the | district believe,and they are now bending their united efforts to make the powers that be see the logic of their reasoning and the fairness of their claims. The principal move in the campaign to secure the collector’s office and Col Webh,a6,the collecten-mermodelert night at what might well be termed amass meeting of citizens in the Board of Trade rooms;for the room was filled to overflowing with some of the most prominent business men of the city.At this meeting it was decided by unanimous consent that a strong committee leave here next Monday for Washington to lay the claims of Winston-Salem and Col. Webb before the Senators and Repre-| sentatives from North Carolina. Heading this committee will be ex- |Gov.R.B.Glenn,who is now in Ohio and will bend every effort to reach |Washington hy Tuesday morning,| jwhen the conference with the Sena itors and Congressmen will be held. But in the event that the ex-Govern-| or can not reach Washington in time, then Judge G.H.Hastings will act| as chairman of the committee.Two| members of the committee will leave here next Sunday afternoon and will arrive in Washington in time to.ar- range for the conference with Sena- tors Simmons and Overman and t Congressmen from this section of theState. At Greenville,S.C.,Sunday night the Baptist and Methodist pastors preached strong sermons against blind tigers,pool rooms and gambling alleged to exist in that city.These| sermons were much discussed and|Monday S.J.Nobles,proprietor of apoolroom,made an assault upon Rev. C.N.Rocky vastor of the Baptist church,The pastor received some bruises on the head and face and,it is said,was giving his assailant aseverelambastingwhenabystander,who sympathized with the pool roomkeener,struck the pastor from behind, then caught and held him.

The bill also provides $150,000 to beexpendedinthedetectionofviolationsoftheinternalrevenuelaw.The commissioner of internal revenue is required to make an annual detail-ed report on how he spends this mon-some of said medicine and on the fol-|ed MATTERS OF NEWS.

Alarmed by the anti-trust bills which Gov.Wilson is pushing through the New Jersey Legislature,the big corporations chartered in that State to do business all over the country, are preparing to move out.The American Railways Company,owner of street railway and other plants in various parts of the country,with headquarters in Trenton,N.J.,has secured a charter in Delaware.Near- ly all the big trusts of the country have been chartered in New Jersey on account of that State’s liberal cor- poration laws. lust You Be Bald?

FRIDAY,----February 21,1912 | REORGANIZATIONOFHOUSE. New Ways and Means Committeeto |Be Selected March 4,| Washington Dispatch,19th. Plans for prompt re-organization of the House will be made and Demo- cratic members of the new ways and means committee selected at a cau-! cus of the Democratic Representatives in the incoming Congress to be held| March 6. The ways and means committee to-|day completed its first reading of the’ proposed tariff schedules,which it has been considering since the tariff hearings closed,and it was decided to ask for a caucus to enable the ma- jority of the committee to proceed un- jder the authority of the new Con- gress. Following the meeting Representa- tive Burleson,of Texas,its chairman, issued the caucus call. “Mr.Underwood informs me,”said Mr.Burleson,in a statement accom. panying the call,“that the present |majority members of the ways and |means committee have concluded their |first reading of bills now in course of preparation looking to a revision of }the tariff,and that it is deemed de- |sirable before further action is taken that those who are to serve as major- jity members of the ways and means committee of the next Congress shall be selected,in order that they’may |participate in further action to be jtaken in perfecting the tariff bills.|(It is also deemed important that ac-| |tion be taken at the cancus to prepare| |for the organization of the new Con-| |gress.” |The ways and means committee vir- |tually will mark time untilethe eau- jeus officially determines the person- jnel of the new committee,although |it is expected that atl the Democratic |members who were re-elected will jagain be re-appointed.Of the Demo-| |crats on the committee,Representa-|tives Randall of Texas,and Brantley ‘of Georgia,were not re-elected,and) |Representative James of Kentucky,| |will go into the Senate.Representa-| |tives Payne of New York,and Ford-| jneéy,of Michigan,were the only Re-/ |publican members re-elected.||The ways and means committee ex- pects to present its tariff revision scheme at the opening of the extra session of Congress,which House leaders believe will be called to meet| the first week of April. Public Building Bill Passed But Was Denounced By Democrats. After.acrimonious debate,the House Monday passed the building bill authorizing the erection of $25,000,- 000 worth of —publie~-structures throughout the country.The vote on the bill was 184 to 46 and the oppo- [nents of the measure were unable to a call to insure a record vote.Representative Fitzgerald of New York,chairman of the House appro- priations committee,and Represen- jtative Hardwick of Georgia virorous-| ily attacked the Democratic side for| jtheir support of the bill.“The sham} |#conomists who have been talking| jeconomy and advocating vublic build.| jings bills,which fasten obligations| ;upon the Treasury,”said Mr,Fitz-| |gerald,“should either qvit talking ‘economy or should attempt to stop {the authorizations which make iney- \itable the appropriation of large sums | jof public money.I denounce as in-| |defensible this method of passing a_ public building bill.It ties together everybody with an item in it and jamakes it impossible to give closeiserutinyandattentiontothebill.I|understand this bill has been so scien-‘tifically prepared that it cannot bedefeated,’ Representative Hardwick was.bit-ter‘in his denunciation of the bill,“I believe,”he declared,“honestly and candidly that this is the worst bill-of its kind ever reported to an Ameri- can House of Representatives.I donotthinkthatinthepalmiestdays of Cannonism as rotten a proposition ever came to this House.There are things in this ill no one can defend,” Eight Hours For Women.

Deposed President and Vice PresidentofMexicoShotDeadintheStreets~—Said to Be the Result of AttemptofFriendstoRescue,But This is Doubted—This Tragedy Makes theSituationMoreTense—AmericanSoldiersSenttoGalveston. Mexico City Dispatch,23d. Francisco I.Madero and Jose PinoSuarezaredead.In a midnight ride under guard from ‘the National Palace to the penitentiary they were killed.The circumstances surrounding thedeathofthedeposedPresidentand‘Vice President of the republic are unknown,except as given in official accounts,which do not in all cases conform.The only witnesses were those actually concerned in the kill-ing.The provisional President,Gen. Victoriano Huerta,says the killing of the two'men was incidental toafightbetweentheirguardanda party attempting to liberate them. The minister of foreign relations,|J Francisco de la Barra,adds that theprisonersattemptedtoescape.Neith- er makes a definite statement as to which side fired the fatal shots.It is not impogsible that neither knows. An official investigation has been ordered to determine the responsibil- ity and solemn promises have been made that the vuilty will be punished. Not unnaturally a great part of the public regards the official versions with doubt,having in mind the use for centuries of the notorious “ley fuga,”the unwritten law which is in- voked when the death of a prisoner is desired.After its application there is written on the records,“orisoner shot trying to escape.” Senora Madero,the wife of the ex- before ged for clemency for her husband, receiving no ascurance,heard the first definite news of her husband's death from the Spanish minister.Soon af- terward,accompanied by her brother, Jose Perez,and Mercedes Madero,a sister of Francisco,Senora drove to the penitentiary but was re- fused permission to see the body of| her husband.Senora Suarez also was denied admittance to the mortuary, where physicians,in accordance with the law,were performing an autopsy. In contrast to the widow;“whose grief was of a pitiably silent chara¢- ter,expressed in sobs,Mercedes Ma- dero,a beautiful young woman,edu-tated in Paris,who has been a bril- liant leader of society since the rev- olution of 1910,was dry-eyed and tigerish in her emotions.By the side of the two women whose husbafds had been killed the girl hurled ac- cusations at the officers who barred the entrance. “Cowards!”“Assassins!”she called them,her voice pitched high.The officers stared impassively.“You! The men who fired on a defenseless man!You and your superior officers are traitors!” No effort was made to remove the women nor did the officers attempt to silence them.Senora Madero con- tinued weeping and.the girl did not cease her hysteric tirade until the arrival of the Spanish minister and others.The women were taken away after assurances were given that they could see the bodies of their dead later in the day.: The-tragedy occurred shortly after midnight.Madero and Suarez,who had been prisoners in the National Palace since their arrest on Tuesday Yast,were placed in an automobile which was accompanied by another car,and ese by 100 ryrales un-or Coninidtfadnt Fran- cisco Cardenas and Col.Rafael Pimento.. With instructions not to out-dis- tance the escort,the cars movedslowly.No incident occurred until they had reached a point near the penitentiary,where,in an open place, the guards’attention was attracted, according to the official version,to a group of persons following.Shots were fired at the escort -out of the darkness.‘The rurales-closed in and ordered the prisoners out of the car. Thirty of the guards surrounded theprisoners,while the remainder dispos-ed themselves te resist’an attack. About fifty men,some afoot and somemounted,threw themselves upon the detachment enarding the cars and the exchange of shots lasted 20 minutes, when the attacking party fled.ThedeadbodiescfMaderoandSuarez were then found.The body of Ma- dero shows only one wound.A bul-let entered the back of the head and emerged at the forehead.The body of Pino Suarez shows many wounds, entering from in front. Feeling of Uneasiness at Washington. Washington Dispatch,28d.The killing of Francisco I.Madero and Pino Suarez,after provisional ad assur-ed American Ambassador Wilson of the safety of his prisoners from just such attacks,created a painful im-pression in administration circles heretoday.When the first feeling ofsurprisehadpasseditwasrealizedby officials that this last tragic event had added greatly to the gravity of thesituationandundoubtedlyhad_plac-ed an additional strain upon the al-ready tense relations between thisgovernmentandthatintheMexican Still,as President Taft him-self declared,the event in itself wasnot.sufficient to demand any depart- ure from the policy .of strict non-in- tervention,which so far has governedProbably*the im-his administration. -mediate-result would be to hasten themilitefoonavalpreparationsinor- Tass Madero | Gorman Pitts is Dead and Dr.Hen- Further Results of Famous Glen Alpine Battle. and otherwise injured in the PittsHennesseebattleatGlenAlpinesev- eral weeks ago,died in’the hospital at Morganton early Sunday morning. Dr.Hennessee,who is charged with killing Pitts,was brought to Morgan- ton Sunday and placed.in jail,and is being held without bond to await trial at the March court. Pitts,who was the most seriouslywounded,was apparently getting along well and was thought to be out of danger up to Friday,when he be- came worse.When his,condition be- came critical Dr.Hennessee’s bond was increased to $3,500 Pitts’death Hennessee was placed in jail. It will be remembered that Dr.Hen- nessee and members of the Pitts fam- ily engaged in a fight at Glen Alpine |Saturday evening,January 18th, |which before it was concluded involv- led Dr.Hennessee,his brother,M.N. Hennessee,Gorman,Ervin and Abe Pitts and Policeman Bennett,the lat- jter being shot while he was attempt- jing to make peace.All participants ex- icept M.N.Hennessee,whose injuries were slight,were more or less seri ously wounded.Dr.Hennessee and Gorman and Ervin Pitts received the most serious injuries.Dr.Hennessee was brought to the Sanatorium at Statesville for treatment and remain- ed here about ten days.He and the others are recovering from their in- |juries. |On account of the large number of }people involyed in the fight,which was ithe result ef a feud between Hen- inessee and the Pitts family,and their leonnection the trial 6f Dr.Hennes- see will be one of unusual interest.

Mrs.Orr is doing a good work,a splendid practical work,and the girls who are studying this important branch of domestic economy are do- ing something worth while.Attorney ‘General Bickett,Who may ‘ve the next Governor,declared sorse years ago that there should be a cooking school in every township in the State jand that no girl should be allowed to get married until she had a_certifi- eate of graduation from such school. Hon.W.D.Turner,the editor of The Landmark and others of old fashioned ideas are also very hospitable to this idea of girls learning to cook and keep house,and they will applaud Mrs.Orr and the Fetmster school for the work they are doing and the good example they are offering the other schools of the county and the State. yelopments in Mexico should demand tee:oa kapment. The one danger to be apprehended, which almost certainly would re- sult in the launching of an army of invasion,would be the commission of some act or acts in Mexico that would endanger the lives of foreign citizens and Americans.for having assured the diplomatic representatives in Washington of the disposition and ability of this government to pro- tect their nationals in Mexico,in the same degree as Americans,the government has assumed an obliga- tion that cannot be ignored.There- fore any attack upon the Americans or foreigners by the consent of the Huerta government or even the exhi- bition towards them of mob violence clearly beyond the ability of the pro- visional government to prevent,prob- ably would be the signal for active intervention.

Intervention of the United States vernment to secure justice,or at ast a fair trial,for fallen President Madero of Mexico,as announced by Secretary Knox at the cabinet meet-ing Friday,was an unexpected devel-opment of the State Department’spolicyinregardtothatrepublic.Theadministrationfeelsthatithasnotinanymannerdepartedfromitspol-icy of strict neutrality,Its action ‘was purely impersonal and probablywouldhavefollowedassurelyhadGeneralDiazbeencapturedbyMa-dero and thréatened with death with-out the process of law.The fact is, though not officially admitted,thatinanunofficialmannertheStateDe-partment did bring to bear influenceswhichsavedDiazfromdeathwhenhewascapturedbyGeneralBeltranatVeraCruzlastfall.Francisco I.Madero,deposed President of Mexico,will not be rail-roaded to jail,thrown into a mad- house or summarily executed by Pro-visional President Huerta,:according to reports from Ambassador Wilson. Madero,the ambassador reports,willbegivenafairtrialandpossiblytheworstfatethatwillawaithimwillbe exile.Secretary Knox,with the ap-proval of President Taft,instructed Ambassador Wilson to convey to Hu- erta in diplomatic terms the intima- tion that the United States would se- riously object to a summary execu- tion or sentence,of Madero.It was not felt here that the former President should be slaughtered or put out of the way for crimes which seemed purely political,without a fair and open trial.This view was made plain to Huerta and the fact was not con- cealed that the Unived States looked with disfavor upon the shooting ofGustavoMadero. That the new administration in Mexico expects to use the methods of Porfirio Diaz,so far as possible,in verning the country was made evi- mt Friday in a conversation Huer- ta had with newspaper men.Huerta declared that no matter what the cost should be or who the men were who aid it,peace would be restored in exico.He said it was his ambition that when he left the presidency peo- ple would say of him “he has restor- ed order throughout Mexico,made safe the investment of money and| rendered secure the tlves and inter- ests of all,both foreigners.and Mex-icans.” Calmly and dispassionately,Gener- al Huerta outlined his programme for the use of the army in restoring and maintaining order.He admitted that in many parts of the republic all was not in accord with peace.To these sections,he said,he would send emis- saries in an attempt to bring about order,or,if necessary,troops would be dispatched to them to)inform the people of the government's desires. I want to restore to Mexico that in- terrupted current of riches which is her right,”the President continued, “and to bring about such conditionsinthecountrythatalldiplomatswill feel their nationals are secure.” The President declared he favored a free press in Mexico,saying that even antagonistic organs were desir-able since from them the administra- tion might learn of evils that other- wise might be hidden. Eight Mexican States,Zacatecas, Coahuila,Nuevo Leon,Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi,Vera Cruz,SinaloaandPuebla,have expressed dissatis- faction with the new regime in Mex- ico and.will not support the govern- ment set up.by General Huerta,ac-cording to information gathered fromFederaltleegrapl’sources at Laredo,|Texas,and a civil war,in an effort|to establish a new republic to be com-posed of the northern States,is re-garded as a possibility by men con-versant with the affairs of Mexico.Because of the reticence of those said to bé interested in the scheme,how-.|ever,rumors that plans were matur-ing for the founding of a new repub-lic could not be confirmed.ee STATE NEWS, A band of 30 students from theStateUniversityisexpectedtomarchintheWilsoninauguralparade._The home of A.F.Reeves,wholivesintheDelphiasectionofAlle-ghany county,was burned last weekwithmostofitscontents.

TUESDAY,---February 25,1913, PRIMARY LAW NEEDED. No doubt the primary bills defeat- ed in the Legislature were objection- able in-some particulars,but that some legal regulations should be pro- vided to insure a square deal in party contests in this State cannot be de- nied.Outside of a few counties that have legal primaries there is noth- ing except a sense of fairness to pre- vent unfairness and fraud in party contests;and all of us know that “in hot party contests men.otherwise honest and fair resort to means that cannot be excused or defended.The idea of the primary is to insure a free ballot and a fair count;to give the people the right to select the can- didates for office.The Landmark be- lieves such a measure can be drawn without drastic or unreasonable pro- visions and without imposing unreas- onable expense.The drastic provis- ion that is needed is to prevent the buying of votes,directly or indirect- ly;and to insure all who have the right to vote in the primary the priv- ilege to go to the polls and vote their sentiments without being subjected to annoyance by those who seek to com- pel them to vote for some particular candidate.Such a measure will have to be adopted in the near future and it is probable that those who now op- pose it will see it differently,in the light of public sentiment,before an- other election: It is idle to pretend that the pres- ent soap box primaries and conven- tions in all cases epress the will of the people.That they are often ma- nipulated in the interest of one faction or another by party leaders or bosses is a well known fact. We always had an idea that to break into a man’s sleeping apart- ment by force was a felony;that to waylay a man on the public highway and commit a secret assault was a felony;that to strip a man of his clothing and besmear him with any nal, a 001K,Beasley convicts from railroad sectian gf the State,ying -faneditorialonthesubjectinthelastissueofTheLandmafk,the Newsadds: As the Landmark intimates,it igratherapoordayforthosecountieswhichhaveaboutallthe,railroadstheywant,which roads were partlyconstructedbyStateaid,to come for-ward and ask that no further aid begiventhosecountieswhicharestrug- |.The..first.isauesof the.Btate Jour-thenew paperpublishedatRal-elgh,tretlects the abitityof“Mr.R. in its editorial columns, The following clear statement of the changing conditions of government and what modern government de- mands,is worthy the’study:of every citizen.Says Editor Beasley: The broad function of government is to do for al!what each cannot doforhimself.The details of this func-tion change,and the growth of popu- lation and the evolution of ‘societymeanaconstantlydiminishingisola- tion of the individual and:a corres-pondingly increasing burden upon government.These changes are:alsooperatingtowardagreaterspecializ-ation of the functions of national, State,municipal and-county govern- ment.No one will undertake to say that our State government is as ef- ficient as it should be,or that any town in North Carolina is giving the management of its public affairs theefficiencythatcouldbedesired.The deficiency in State revenues is not a bagatelle to the aggregate deficiency of our towns,and there is perhaps not a political unit large or small in the State that shows efficiency of man- agement that the ordinary private business possesses. The old idea—and the correct idea for the time—was that the individual should have the largest possible lib- erty and government the least.possi- ble concern with the individual,-the latter being left to work out his own salvation.Changed conditions have changed the functions of government but the method of governing has not kept pace with the changed conditions. Why,asks the State Journal,does not the methods of government reflect the efficiency that obtains in ordinary pri- vate business?Here is the answer: Primarily because we haven’t yet made up.our minds that the public business is our business.We haven’t realized that the things that govern- ment should do for all are as impor- tant as what each may do for him- self,and indeed more important,for the first thing that government does is to give to each the opportunity to do for himself to the greatest ad- vantage.When we do realize this we shall be ready for efficient co-opera-tion. Things do not happen.They are created by causés.Just at this time, for instance,there is a widespread demand for commission government in towns and there is seen at the same time the necessity of giving the Gov- ernor of the State greater power, which is really a demand for commis- is not,losing,we believe,by any aidthatwillopenupnewterrtory.NorcantheStateaffordtodoanythatwouldlessenourchancesofre.storing compe-tition among railroads in North Carolina;openinterritory;but by all means,the StateshouldassistinobtainineonNorthCarolinacoast,a port of en must be taken to obtain them.WedonotknowwhethertheHousewillpasstheSenatebill,but we do knowthattheState,having entered intoanagreementwiththoserailroad not violate this agreement.It is a it is unconstitutional to work,convictsonrailroads.No amendmert shouldbetackedontothebillswhichwouldtakeawayfromroadsnowundercon-struction the convict labor.We hadjustaswellhavefairplayinthiscon-vict question.

Support. It takes about $20,000 a year for the support of the orphanage.One-fourth of this comes in the Thanks- giving Day‘offering.The amount re- ceived on support last year (fromOctoberIst,1911,to October Ist, 1912)was $21,469.48,an increase over the previous year of $1,999.55.About 160 children of the 185 are clothed byladies’societies or individuals.The a700,worth of this clothing is 1,700. ,had a glimpse of the Barium cuboard.Editor William Laurie Hill,who took me in tow whenever somehighwaymanofbusinessheldupSupt. Walker (and Walker is an overwork- ed man),found a key to the base- ment of the Burroughs building, where the Thanksgiving and Christ-mas goodies are stored.-We raided the peanut bags and orange boxeswefoundthere.I felt like David when he ate the shew bread—taking the orphan children’s candy this way, though Brother Hill didn’t seem to have any qualms of conscience,but then he is a sort of priest in the Bari- um temple and enjoyed inalienable rights where I didn’t.And,by the way,Our Fatherless Ones ought to have 5,000 circulation instead of 1,- 600. A number of Sunday schools,se- cieties,Bible classes and individuals send monthly giftsto the support fund, but if all the 375 Presbyterians Sun- \day schools would give $5 a month on jan average,they would over raise jthe amount of the annual support fund.This they could easily do if they undertake it systematically.The |600 Baptist Sunday schools in North |Carolina furnish 40 per cent.,or $35,- {000 a year of the support of the huge iThomasville orphanage.I wish we jcould have a Synodical convention of |the Presbyterian Sunday school su- |pe rintendents in North Carolina at |Barium,or,if Barium could not take jcare of the crowd for a day,at States- |ville.I would like to be a member of the programme committee for the |same.|The Presbyterians of North Caro- lina have maintained cheerfully and |liberally this great enterprise,so close to the hearts of the covenant-keeping God who calls Himself “The God of the fatherless.”Tney will continue both to its — nal J.Murphy Wil- who has charge of this cam- ;equipment and Rev. jliams, appeals.

Because the cheek bone of the In-dian head which is to adorn the new five-cent pieces Secretary of —theTreasuryMacVeaghisplanningtois- sue shortly is lower than the cheek bone of the Goddess of Liberty,which adorns the nickel now in circulation, Hobbs &Co.,of Worcester,Mass., fear they will lose $150,000 which they have spent in perfecting a newslotmachine.Their representatives are now in Washington trying to straighten the matter out.Senator Lodge is helping them. The new machine.is intended for use in street railway,subway andelevatedrailwaystations.Its mech-anism is so finely developed that noth- ing but a real nickel will work it.Ifputintosncecessfuloperationitwill save,so it is claimed,not only a great deal of time to the public,but money to the operators of the railways.In- stead of having to wait in line at aticketseller’s window,the public can use the slot machine for purchasinghistickets.The machine is also fittedforuseinpostofficesforthepur- chase of stamps.The device for preventing fraud is80delicatethatitsoperationdepends upon the difference between the height of the cheek bone of the God-dess\of Liberty,which presents the highest point on the face of a nickelandtheheightofthegroovethat lies between the rim and the stars which\encircle the head of the god- dess.A good nickel can pass through the machine,whereas a foreign coin of practically the same size,weightandthicknessorafakedisk:would be thrown out. The design of the new nickel has an Indian face on the front and a Buffalo on the reverse side.The face of the Indian is flatter than that of the God- dess of Liberty and runs all the way to the rim,the groove inside the rim being done away with.The repre- sentatives of Hobbs &Co.declare that these slight changes will make the machine they have spent so much money in perfecting absolutely use- less and are appealing to Secretary MacVeagh to ‘have the new design altered (It is announced that the new nick- els wil!be issued in a few days.) Grover Batchelor,the Nash county constable who was shot by Clay Strickland last week,died in a Rich- mond hospital,where he was taken for treatment.The men fell out about cutting a road through Batchelor’s property in Nash county and the shooting followed.Strickland fled after the shooting and at last account had not been arrested.

The joint finance committee of the |Legislature,Senator J.P.Cook ahd |Representative R.R.Williams chair- }men,has completed its draft of the |new revenue ard machinery bills that are to be introduced in both branches of the Legislature this week.An in- crease of at least $350,090 in the State’s revenue is aimed at in the bills without raising tax levies on prop- erty.This means sumething like $4,- /000,000 taxes instead of $3,250,000 State taxes as at present.Re-adjust- ment of the machinery act is the principal means counted,on to be es-pecially effective in colle¢ting revenue on incomes,inheritances,franchises and kindred sources.The commit- tee expects $100,000 instead of $40,- 000 from incomes,$100,000 from in- heritances instead of $50,000,$150,000 from franchises instead of $51,000. It ig conceded that there will be apecialsessionnextfallandindica- tions are that it will be decided to create a State tax tommission and have a complete new property assess- ment,with the pledge that no more taxes shall be raised under the new assessment this year than last -ex- cept as required to provide the six- months school terms It is learned that the new revenuebillprovidesforafranchisetaxon corporations of one-tenth of one per cent of the capital stock,a very de- cided increase over the present rate, meaning that a numoer of the larger cotton mills in the State,for instance,will pay as much as $1,500 additional franchise —taxes.The bill carriés changes in the income tax that fix the minimum untaxed items at $1,700, with a graduated scale on additional incomes that reaches three per cent for incomes of $5,000,with machin- ery to assure listing not accomplishedinthepast. The inheritance tax scales and en- forcement are heing similarly handled in the bill.The committee is under- stood to be making no preparation for any bond issue for the present heavy indebtedness.The proposed re-as- sessment of property is to includebothadjustmentofmuchcomplained of inequalities and between different sections and similar properties and placing all on the books at full value, instead of the present low assess- ments.In short,it is believed theOhioplanisbeingfollowed. |The House Saturday passed a joint resolution for a special legislative commission to be named to investi-| gate the status of the State’s hold- jings in the Atlantic and North Caro- jma railroad and the offer of BE.C.

The fight of North Carolina forbetterfreightratestopointsinthisStatefromtheWest,compared withVirginiarates,assumed a much moresatisfactoryconditionthisafternoonastheoutcomeofthesecondconfer-ence of the State commission withtherailwaysofNorthCarolina.There were a large number of officials ofrailways,including presidents,inter- ested citizens and State officials pres- ent for the hearing,which took place in Governor Craig’s office.The railway officials assumed an entirely different attitude this after-noon from that of the previous occas- ion,two weeks ago.At that time they argued how ruinous it would be for them to abolish the discriminatory rates obtaining in this State over Virginia cities.This afternoonbp A.P.Thom,chief counsel forSouthernandspokesmanforall the railway companies concerned,read a statement setting forth the attitude of the railroads,which opened up ne- gotiations that may result in the saving of thousands of dollars annual-ly to North Carolina shippers.In- stead of arguing that the long andshorthaul“principle”is right,andthatitmustbemaintained,Mr.Thom briefly stated that he had no desire to argue with the State this question ofeconomicprinciplesofratemaking;that out of deference to the irritation that had sprung up in this State over rates to points in this State as com- pared with rates to Virginia cities,the railway companies first stood ready toabandonthecompetitionforWestern business hauled through North Caro- lina points to Virginia cities;farth- ermore,the railway companies,in or- der to avoid making the North Caro- lina case a precedent,were witling,onaccountoftheproximityofNorth Carolina to Virginia cities,to re-ad- just the proportional rate from Vir- ginia cities into North Carolina so as to give as much relief as possible. In other words,through rates into North Carolina would be based fromtheWestviaLynchburgorRichmond into North Carolina points,the South- ern Railway Company’s proportion-al part of the through rate to be fe-duced from the Virginia towns toNorthCarolinawithoutaffectingthe local rates from Virginia to North| Carolina.If this can be accomplish- ed it would result in giving NorthCarolina.wholesalers a monopoly of the wholesale business in this State. In the negotiations that are to take place the State has not surrendered its position in any way but on the con- trary it has everything in its favor.

A farmers’institute will be held at Troutman March 8th.The farmers are particularly urged to attend this meeting and bring their families. When the State provides these insti- tutes for the interest and benefit of these “sons of the soil,”it is a duty they owe to themselves and their families to attend them.It may help our boys and girls to resist “the call of the city”and to educate them in agricultural and domestic science.The speaking will begin at 11 o’clock and it is hoped the auditorium will be fill- ed with a large and appreciative audi- ence.

HOLLAND'S WONDERFUL HEN, Laid Thirty-Four Eggs and Hatched Them All,Then Laid Three Eggs in One Day When the Chickens Were But Two Days Old. Mr.C.S.Holland dropped into The Landmark office Tuesday afternoon to tell about a remarkable hen he had just purchased from Mrs.Wiley Ladd, who lives on the John M.Sharpe place,east of town.“The hen,”said Mr.Holland,“laid 34 eggs,sat on the whole bunch and hxzched 34 chicks, and while I was bringmg her to town in a box with the little chickens she laid three nice eggs in the box.”Mr. Holland thon went on to explain thatthe“biddies”were only two days old Tuesday and it was naturally teo ear- ly after “setting”for a hen to lay one egg a day,let alone three.He said it was impossible for the eggs to havegotten.in the box any other way andthereifouldbenodoubtthattheone hen had laid them.Continuing Mr. Holland said “my witnesses are Prof. Thompson,Mr.Eugene Morrison,Po- liceman Morgan and Dr.Hill,who saw the chickens and eggs in the box and will tell you that I’m not joking.”Asked what he paid for the hen,Mr. Holland said he gave 50 cents for the hen and three cents each for the the little chicks. When The Landmark reporter got out on the street he found Mr.Mor- rison and asked him if he had seer Mr.Holland’s wonderful hen.“Yes,” said Mr.Morrison,“I looked in the box and saw the hen,chicks and eggs and then I put this ec Mr.Hollarid, ‘The Governor of Indiana said to the Governor of Illinois,I love a lie.but you please me too well.’” Mr.Holland:says he don’t know what breed his hen is,but she looks like a Barred F'lymouth Rock.She is a great hen,all right,and the own- er is justly proud of her.

From tomorrow noon,when he quits as Governor of New Jersey,.until Tuesday noon,when he takes the oath} of office as President of the United States,Woodrow Wilson will be in a measure a private citizen.He says he is so pleased by the brief respite that he may turn a handspring just to show that he has no dignity of of- fice to maintain. Judge Adams of the Asheville po- lice court (a son of tne late Judge Jo. S.Adams,former resident of States- ville and solicitor of this district)is trying to reform the chronic drunk- ards in Asheville and his plan seems to be a good one.Some time ago he increased the tariff from $5 to 310 im such cases.This plan:not proving effective he has changed the prnish- ment to a road sentence of 20 days unless the defendant will sign a pledge to abstain from imbibing.In case the pledge is violated the road sentence becomes operative.This plan will very probably materially reduce the number of cases of public drunkenness in Asheville. From time to time for the past six months there has been talk that the so-called progressive element in the United States Senate,composed in the main of men not long in the Senate; would reorganize that body and over- throw the plan of assigning commit- tee chairmanships under the senior- ity rule.The plan us to committee chairmanships was abandoned,prob- ably because the reorganizers could not muster sufficient strength to ac- complish the purpose,but they have succeeded in defeating Senator Mar- tin of Virginia as chairman of the Democratic caucus and nominal State leader.Martir’s friends admit he will be defeated when the Senate is reor- ganized.His successor will be John W.Kern of Indiana.The Landmark does not regard.Kern as a heavy- weight (neither is Martin),but it is rather pleased that Martin is to be reduced to ranks.He is considerable of a standpatter ana entirely too close to “the interests”to be a cen- turian under the administration of Woodrow Wilson. In the opinion of Savannah Sea Island dealers the production of this cotton can no longer be profitable,be- cause Egyptian is running it out of| the market.Egyptian is produced and delivered in the United States at a cost which Sea Island growers cannot meet.For manufacturing oo it is declared to be as good, not better.Egyptian now fixes the demand and price for Sea Island, which has thus become a mere sup- plementary crop.In consequence of these conditions the Sea Island fac- tors of Savannah have decided not to assist in financing Sea Island grow: ers.They advise the abandonment of this crop.—Charlotte Observer. This is interesting and not the least interesting part about it is that the| Observer accepts.the destruction of the Sea Island cotton industry with- out a word of protest.Not a word about the protective tariff to save a home industry.What's the matter? Why should this pauper cotton from Egypt be allowed to come in here and destroy a Southern industry?Whynotshutitoutwithaprotectivetar- iff?The cotton mill men wouldn't object,would they?

Among the bills passed was a road law.for Yadkin county and a bill to amend the charter of the Statesville Air Line railroad.The House de- feated,70 to 25,the bill to relieve Avery county from its..proportion of the debt for the Mitchell county court house.There was a sharp fight over this bill,led by Mr.Burleson for Avery county,on the ground that the obligation is unfair to the people of Avery,and by Buchanan for Mitchell county,who contended that the peo- ple of Avery were attempting to break a solemn pledge. Among the bills introduced in the Senate was one amending Revisal rel- ative to gambling by extending to persons testifying immunity from punishment. The joint resolution to send a wire to President Taft asking him not to veto the Webb-Kenyon liquor ship- ment bill struck a snag when put upon its readings.Several noes were heard upon second reading and on final reading Senator Evans of Pitt opposed it on the ground that he did not believe it wise for a.Democratic Legislature to make any request of a Republican President,and that it was a very irregular proceeding to mix the different branches of gov- ernment in that way.Senator Me- Lean thought politics ought not to be injected and that the President might be very glad to hear from the North Carolina Legislature.Sen- ator Council]supported the resolution, taking the position that the President might be still in doubt on the consti- tutional question.Other Senators op- posed and finally Jones of Forsyth offered an amendment requesting the President not to veto any bills until he has heard from the North Carolina Legislature,“and I think,”he added “there is just as much sense in that amendment as in the resolution it- self.”He then moved to table and the motion was lost,19 to 13.The resolution was then passed and sent to the House. The House at a night session adopt- ed a substitute for the resolution ask- ing President Taft to not veto the Webb-Kenyon bill.The substitute, by Murphy,merely expressed gratifi- cation that North Carolina Congress- men supported the bill and provided that.a telegram to the effect be sent to the President.Murphy declared that to eall of Taft not to veto the bill would be rank presumption.The amended resolution was concurred in by the Senate. Representative Long called the at- tention of the members of the House to the fact that in the early evening Representative S.J.Payne of Curri- tuck county was assaulted by E.R.

If Mr.Watts is appointed collector and the office removed to Winston- Salem it will be the result of an agreement,not because it has been the custom to locate the office at the point Wheré*the most revenue is col- lected.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro News. Ratification of the proposed amend-ment to the constitution for the di- rect election of Senators is proceed-ing at such a rapid rate that it is now believed the amendment will be adopt- ed before the Legislatures now in ses- sion have adjourned. Twenty-three State Legislatures have already ratified the direct elec- tion amendment. Ratifications by three-fourths of the States,or thirty- six,is necessary.The amendment hasbeenratifiedbyonehouseoftwelve Legislatures additional to the twenty-three. If the Legislatures which have passed the amendment through one house proceed to complete ratificatian this will make the number that have ratified the measure 35,or within one of the total necessary to make direct election of Senators a part of the con- stitution.Moreover,42 Legislatures are in session this winter and spring. Out of this number the probabilities are,in the opinion of friends of the amendment who have been keeping close watch of it,that 36 will indorse it. It is expected the amendment to the constitution will be amended so that the election in 1914 to elect a Senator to sueceed Senator’Lee 8S.

FRIDAY,---February 28, Mr.Page of Moore county has in- troduced a bill in the Legislature to aid in the upkeep of the public roads by regulating the size of wagon tires. The Iredell members could render their county no better service than to put this county under the provisions of Mr.Page’s wide-tire law,if it is a reasonable meéasure—and we have no doubt it is,for Mr.Page is a sensible man.If no action is taken ,now to get the wide-tire into use in Iredell the good reads will be cut to pieces before another Legislature meets and the cost vf upkeep will be increased by many theusands of dol- Jars.The wide-tire proposition is simply a money-saving proposition, 1913. The act of the Legislature increas- ing the number of judges and solici- tors from 16 to 20 has made neces- sary the re-arrangement of the judi- cial districts to provide for the four new judges and solicitors.While the redistricting bill has not been com- pleted it appears to be almost certain that Solicitor Hammer will be plac- ed in a new district and that the district of which Tre- dell will be a part will have to have a new solicitor.This being so it is among the possibilities that Iredell will have a candidate for solicitor. This county having the judge,it would not follow that it could also get,the solicitor,although such a con- dition is by no means unprecedented in the State.seepeppepreneneereseeinensnenmnetsenomcis Dr.Taylor of Morganton,who at- tended Rowan court as a_witness while Judge Whedbee was presiding there,was impressed with his hon- or’s method of doing business (as most folks are who see Whedbee run a court),and he makes suggestion in this connection that is worthy of con- sideration.Dr.Taylor says that when the railroads find an engineer who shows superior qualifications forhisworkheissettoshowingotherengineershowto.do it.He thinks the same plan might be applied to judges with good effect.A judge like Whed-bee,for instance,could with profit beemployedtoshowotherjudges.howtoruncourt.If the Legislature hadadoptedthatplantheincreaseinjudgeswouldhavebeenunnecessary.It would be well to keep this in mindagainstthedayanotherincreaseinjudgesisproposed,wnich will be in afewyears,ee The disposition of the railway peo-ple,as manifested in the meeting atRaleighWednesday,to relieve NorthCarolinainpartatleastoftheinde-fensible discrimination in freightrates,is encouraging.It is also furth-er evidence,if any evidence is needed,that the only way to get the rail-roads to right a wrong,as a rule,istogoafterthemwithsuchforceastoconvincethemthatyouaregoingtodosomethingiftheydon’t.Foryearsthisfreightratediscrimina.|tion has been talked about and en-dured.Recently the people decidedtheywouldstanditnolonger.Whentherailroadpedplerealizedthatthelimithadbeenreachedtheyoffertocometoterms.Why the railroadsnearlyalwayswaittobeforceduwremedyarecognizedWrong,is amystery.But that is a way they have.Throwing clods of dirt and tufts ofgrassatthemdoesuogood.It takesrocksandplentyofthem.

The 10,000 men and women em- ployed by the members of the Asso- ciation of Boys’Clothing Manufac- turers of New York who have been on strike for two months,will return to work this week.An agreement pro- vides for a wage increase from $1 a week to 10 per cent a week for each worker,a maximum of 54 hours labor a week,and no discrimination in the re-employment of the workers.About 60,000 garment workers of the total number who went on strike on Janu- ary 1 are not affected by this settle- ment.Settlements by unions and de- sertions from the ranks of the strik- ers leave this number still unemploy- ed. The postoffice appropriation bill, carrying approximately $283,000,000, an increase of nearly $3,000,000 over the House bill,was passed by the Sen- ate Wednesday.The largest single item in the bill is for the transporta- tion of mails on military routes,$51,- 500,000 being authorized by the Sen- ate for this purpose.The Senate ap- propriated $47,500,000 for the rural delivery service.The measure car- ries an increase of more than $12,000,- 000 over the appropriations made last year,due to the establishment of the parcel post system.Provisions for pensioning postal employes and elect- ing fourth-class postmasters by the people were stricken out.

Why?‘There are several reasons. One,and a deep-seated one,is that we as a people have not yet got the scientific habit in government.We do not thoroughly distinguish between public and personal considerations. We are too ready to accept as our governing officials individuals who are good men’s men though abominable State’s men.We are too ready to tol- erate the log-rolling method of doing public business.That is a funda- mental defect and one that can be cured only through education and training.The only encouraging thing to be said about it is that we are improving.But there are other de- fects in our rovernmental system that make it difficult for us to prevent such abuses as this.one is the fact| that the connection between Congress and the electorate is a long-distance one.We elect a Congressman in No- vember and he doesn’t go into office| until the following March.Congress| passes a bill in the spring and the| Congressmen do not come up for elec- tion until the fall of the following year,perhaps.The people have a short political memory and conse- quently the Congressmen take chances.Another thing that has a very direct bearing upon congression- al extravagance is the fact that our system of national taxation is indirect rather than direct.The people pay the bill,but they do it without knowing. They grumble at the high cost of liv- ing,but they do not connect it with$180,000,000 pension bills and $45,- 000,060 rivers and harbors bills and $25.000,000 public buildings bills. For the fundamental defect there will probably be no complete people generally more than it does in this age.For the defects in the sys- tem,one partial remedy is the pas- |him take office promptly upon their jeleetion.Another good thing,we are jinclined to think,will be the imposi- 'tion of an income tax and one that |has not too high an exemptién figure. If the greater portion of our people jwere made to pay $2.or $3 out of |every $100 earned to the national gov- jernment,if-they really felt the money jcoming out of their pockets every jtime a pension bill wr a rivers and was passed through Congress,then it lis quite probable they would send a few thought vibrations of no uncer- tain character to the men represent-|ing them in the House and Senate:(Piese are mattehy co?“the future,| jhowever.For the present the only |hope remaining to a distressed peo-|ple is that President “Taft may exer-jcise his mighty power of veto upon}some of these appropriation bills,the|grand total of which,if they allshouldbeenactedintolaw,reaches|the incredible sum of $999,000,000.|ennrerrmemastnteeennantenetneesenate| |Naval Appropriation Bill Cut Down.
